Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
ASP (Active Server Pages) empowers Internet/Intranet developers to make their websites dynamic and/or database-driven without having to worry about browser compatibility. Used in conjunction with HTML and a scripting language (VBScript, JavaScript/JScript/ECMAScript) ASP even allows you to create web-based applications.

Beginning Active Server Pages 2.0 educates the reader in the hows and whys of ASP. Aimed at the novice and intermediate user-either as a learning or reference resource-- the book clearly explains the basic precepts of ASP and illustrates them to a further level of detail with examples and useful graphics. The broad range of topics covered include Client- and Server-side scripting, VBScript, control constructs, objects, properties, methods and events (with extra detail given for the Request and Response objects), application and session objects and variables, and debugging your ASP code (a vital chapter!). Appendices provide additional reinforcement in areas like the VBScript language, the Object model and the scripting object, methods and properties.

Beginning Active Server Pages 2.0 is a useful introduction for web developers anxious to 'wet their toes' in database-driven, dynamic web sites. While not providing a fully comprehensive resource, this book provides an essential introduction and development all will appreciate--Rebecca Loades

Book Description
ASP is the future of the web. With ASP you can customize your web pages to be more dynamic, more efficient and more responsive to your users. It is not just a technology though, to get the best out of ASP you will be using it in tandem with HTML and with one or more of the web's simple scripting languages. This book will teach you everything you need to create useful real-world applications on the web.

5.0 out of 5 stars turn a site into a web APPLICATION... start with this book!, 6 May 1999
By A Customer
Active Server Pages technology rocks! This is the easiest way to harness web database power. Turn your clients' web sites into interactive WEB APPLICATIONS today. Learn how to easily use built-in web server objects to pass data between your web pages, and to and from your server using Request, Response, Application, and Session. Discover the global.asa file which maintains your application & session objects. Learn about the built-in server component for database support, ADO, and its Connection & RecordSet objects. Brush up on your SQL commands so that you can customize your database queries. I went from non-programmer to intermediate-level ASP developer in less than a month. Find an ISP that hosts the IIS or chiliSoft ASP web server, and read these great books to learn how to get your Web APPLICATION up & running this week: ASP for Dummies --> Beginning ASP 2.0 --> Professional ASP 2.0 and ADO 2.0.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good ASP starting point, 2 Jan 2001
This book is a good starting point for ASP with VBScript (neither of which you need to know). You do need good HTML to get the most out of it. It doesn't really cover JavaScript in any depth. It is a good intro to ASP, however one fairly major MINUS point is it's complete lack of coverage of CDONTS, or put another way, how to send email from an ASP application. This to my mind is a major area missed out. To progress further you will need other books. There's an excellent example site to build and all things considered, it's a good one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Beginners Guide, 16 Aug 2000
By A Customer
Easy to follow, no typos, excellent reference book. Some sections may be too technical to follow if you're a non-techy. However i give it 9 & 3/4 out of 10.
