Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Developing ASP Components offers comprehensive instruction for creating and implementing server-side components for the Microsoft Web server platform. You can build Microsoft components with different languages and author Shelley Powers covers the bases with equal coverage of Visual Basic, Visual C++, and Visual J++ development.

The first part of the book offers a very readable introduction to Active Server Pages (ASP) components, the Component Object Model (COM), thread implementation and transactions. This section explains how the elements of the ASP processing environment work together and forms the foundation for the remainder of the book. Inside this overview, the author is careful to point out differences among the trio of featured programming languages.

The next section covers Visual Basic component building, access to ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) and building multiple-tier ASP components. This section illustrates how an easy-to-use language like VB can offer great productivity. C++ is then covered, with a focus on the language's additional control and, in particular, possibilities for object linking and embedding database (OLE DB) data access. For Java, the author includes coverage of JavaBeans and data access with the Windows Framework Classes (WFC).

With proper focus on the key aspects of each language and plenty of practical examples, this title squarely hits the mark as a guide for budding ASP developers. --Stephen Plain

Product Description
Developing add-on controls and components is emerging as a multi-billion dollar industry that is increasingly attracting the attention of developers. This book is for the developer. It provides its audience with the information and real-world examples they need to create custom ASP components using one of the three major development tools: Visual Basic; C++ and Java++.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good intro, still left a lot of unanswered questions, 24 Nov 1999
By seyed@mailandnews.com (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
This is a good book to get you thinking about developing ASP / ActiveX components and if you're just using VB it is as good a start as you'll probably need.

For the C++ programmer you're still left with a lot of questions and unless you're planning on doing only really trivial stuff this book alone won't do it for you.

Still good style and usually clear examples make this a good book IMHO.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Overview, solved initial problems for me, 2 Jun 1999
By A Customer
I recommend this book if you are either familiar with ASP or a MS Programming language. I am developing in ASP, and found that the VB sections are the easiest to absorb. The book does cover three languages, so don't expect a large amount of detail on each. But the book is cheap, and allowed me to successfully access the ASP objects, something that is documented little on the web.

If you want to stay with ASP, but also want to move further into object oriented programming (to keep up the learning curve), get this book as a place to start.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable Intro to ASP Components, 11 Aug 1999
By A Customer
Well written, succinct and the subject material is brilliantly covered. This book is not only an excellent primer on the subject of ASP Components, its also a model on how ALL computer Self-Teach books should be written. It has no extraneous fluff that comes with 99% of computer books on the bookshop shelves. It has just the right balance of theory and code. And the theory is a pleasure to read, and the examples are great. Hats off to O'Reilly for producing this extremely timely book. And to Shelley Powers for really coming up with the goods with this book. Excellent!!!

Overall a good book, and Shelley certainly knows her stuff. Far too much indepth explanation (akin to walking through treacle) perhaps aimed at new developers, without any actual... Read more
