Product Description

Book Description
Covers Active Server Pages, HTML (including Dynamic HTML), scripting, ActiveX controls, Java applets, Internet Information Server, and Internet Explorer. Compares the differences between Microsoft's JScript and Netscape's JavaScript. Covers pacesetting, yet hard-to-find, information on DHTML and IIS 4.0 technologies.

From the Author
Be sure to read the subtitle of the book!
Authors don't always get a chance to pick the title of their books, and this is one we might have wished for a more direct title for.

The subtitle for the book (on the cover) is: The Professional's Guide to Developing Dynamic, Interactive Web Sites with Microsoft ActiveX

What does this mean? Our goal with this book was not to showcase any one technology, but rather to show you how to write real Web pages using an arsenal of techniques including ASP, DHTML, client-side scripting, and more.

We had no desire to rehash the ASP documentation. Instead, we want to show you how to bring together a variety of technologies, centered on ASP, to produce the results you want. The chapters on scripting apply to client-side and ASP scripting. The chapters that are ASP-specific cover both ASP fundamentals, database access, built-in components, and the powerful MPS components. In addition, the case study chapter converts an ordinary Web site into an Active site using ASP, client-side scripting, and MPS.

If you are looking for a rehash of the ASP documentation, look somewhere else. If, on the other hand, you want to see how real Web programmers use all the tools available to create exciting Web content, you'll get a lot of use from this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great -- and apparently misunderstood -- book, 2 Jun 1999
By A Customer
A fine book if you want the practical side of writing an Active web page. Lots of practical examples. True it isn't just about ASP, but it is about using ASP to develop a whole Web site. Best of 3 books I have on the subject.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book gives catalog/online shopping a bad name., 27 May 1999
By A Customer
The title and jacket suggest this book is some ASP "real-world problem" solver. At more than 500 pages this book appears to really get deep in ASP applications.

However, the first line of chapter 9 gives good insight into the true nature of the book: "Previous chapters focus on client-side scripting..."

The next paragraph is entitled: "What is an Active Server Page?" This is in chapter *9*!

However good this book may be on its own terms, please, please, go to a "real-world" bookstore and examine this book before buying.

1.0 out of 5 stars Can I go below one star? How about minus 5 stars, 29 April 1999
By A Customer
I bought this book thinking it was about Microsofts Active Server Page(ASP) technology in it's Internet Information Server. (Something about the title must have tripped me up).

The ASP portion of the book starts on page 341. The first 340 pages are about HTML. If you want an introduction to HTML this book is for you. If you want a book on ASP then if this book or a tattoo with the acronym ASP on it are your choices, I would get the tatoo.
