If Microsoft Internet Information Server is your Web server, Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP) is one of your most powerful tools. ASP enables you to develop and deploy highly interactive Web sites quite efficiently.
Sams Teach Yourself Active Server Pages 2.0 in 21 Days can help you become an ASP expert.
As its title implies, the book presents a three-week tutorial comprising daily lessons. A chart inside the front cover outlines the learning schedule. Week one begins with overview chapters about ASP but progresses quickly through using data entry forms, working with scriptlets and working with HTTP transactions. The important Request object is covered by the sixth day and you work with cookies on the seventh.
The second week continues the pace with a focus on Web databases and ActiveX Database Objects--a key Microsoft object model used throughout their products. Along the way, you'll build a database application and work with SQL. This week also covers how to use cookies for inter- session information management. The final week of study covers advanced topics such as programming with Visual Basic and ActiveX, security, custom components and Win32 API access.
While this book teaches about ASP, it also illustrates how to use the technology effectively. This title helps you utilise the powerful development technologies of IIS to create your own professional-quality Web sites. --Stephen W. Plain
