Amazon.co.uk Review
ASP (Active Server Pages) is a Microsoft technology that provides a framework for developers to construct dynamic web pages. These pages can interact with custom-built components or databases to produce solid and interesting Internet/Intranet sites and web- based applications. As a succinct and eminently portable book, ASP 2.0 Programmer's Reference is a resource Internet/Intranet developers will find they use again and again.

The book covers the entire range of ASP commands and functions--from the standard objects (Request, Response, Application, Session and Server), through the built-in scripting objects and supporting technologies, to a view of the next version, ASP 3.0. 9 appendices complement the information and cover subjects like ADO (Active Data Object) object model, Microsoft scripting runtime reference and HTTP 1.1 header codes. The style is concise but clear with graphical illustrations to help communicate the ASP structure and relationships. In addition comprehensive examples are provided throughout the book to reinforce the command syntax required.

ASP 2.0 Programmers Reference is not for the novice developer or for those looking for a guide to IIS (Internet Information Server). This book is aimed at accomplished ASP developers and for anyone involved in application development on the world wide web --Rebecca Loades END

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: Excellent Reference, 23 Jun 2000 By A Customer Another excellent reference book from WROX. The layout is slightly odd however, but this doesn't affect how easy it is to find what you want, as the TOC is pretty good. The code examples do not always go into any great depth but this is a quick reference work after all. Five stars as the "layout thing" didn't warrant losing a star.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

I recommend this book for anyone who needs a handy ref. book. If you want to learn ASP, you should buy Beginning ASP 2.0, and get this one later as a ref. book.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

My goal as a long time programmer was to find a strong yet concise introduction to ASP without having to turn a thousand pages. This is it.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
