Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
More than just a reference, this is a detailed guide to Active Server Pages 3.0, which is the version that ships with Windows 2000. It is aimed at experienced developers, although you do not need previous knowledge of ASP itself. There is some overlap with Professional Active Server Pages 3.0, another Wrox title which shares some of the same authors. The difference is the reference-style presentation, which documents the properties, methods and events of each ASP component while also providing extensive commentary and examples. A strong feature is that examples are given in both VBScript and JScript, whereas most ASP books use only VBScript. The early chapters introduce ASP and cover the all-important intrinsic objects. Next come the Scripting objects, including the handy Dictionary object as well as file-handling features. The third section tackles Active Server Components such as Browser Capabilities and Content Linking. ActiveX Data Objects are a critical part of ASP, and the detailed treatment here includes chapters on Data Shaping and OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) as well as core objects like Connections and Recordsets.

That accounts for around two-thirds of the book. The later chapters are particularly valuable, covering advanced features such as transactions with COM+ (formerly called MTS), message queuing, using XML from ASP, programming the Active Directory with ADSI (Active Directory Services Interface), and taking advantage of CDO (Collaboration Data Objects). There are also chapters on Indexing Services, security, and optimizing performance. A number of useful tables are presented as appendices, and there is a detailed index.

Although the situation is improving, strong ASP titles remain thin on the ground. This one is packed with tips, explanations and examples, and the hands-on experience of the authors is always evident. --Tim Anderson

Book Description
ASP 3.0 Programmer's Reference relates to ASP 3.0 as included with Windows 2000. However, because ASP is now a core part of so many Web-oriented features within Windows, this book covers a far wider area than just the ASP syntax, properties, methods and events. Windows 2000 is a big operating system, in other words, it is functionally rich and bundled with numerous applications and services that enable you and your applications to do lots of different things with very little effort. For example, with Windows 2000 you can use IIS5 as your web server, you can use Active Directory to share enterprise-wide information, you can Message Queue Services to create applications that can work in a disconnected or a connected mode etc. Therefore, a properly equipped ASP programmer needs to have more than just ASP reference material close at hand to function effectively in this environment. ASP 3.0 Programmer's Reference also covers Components, Active Directory, XML, ADO, Messaging and Collaboration Services, VBScript, JScript and much more making it the complete ASP programmer's desktop companion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of handy tips, 30 Mar 2001
By A Customer
I don't know about you, but I find when reading 'proper' books (like the professional ASP3 book) that I get bored of it very quickly, as soon as I know the basics of the technology, I want to do my own thing.

This is one of the best reference books for me - I find nutshell ones a little brief (great for checking the syntax though), this reference book though, is something you read through - it opens up things you'd never have taken the time to find normally, new commands, new ways of using the commands you allready know - a very useful book.

I'd say something like the ASP3 (beginners or professional) book, or SAM's ecommerce with ASP, alongside this reference, would be all you needed (although, I love my VBscript in a nutshell - very very useful if you aren't totally fluent).

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good resource., 3 Nov 2000
By A Customer
Excellent book, covers ASP 3.0, IIS 5, COM+, XML and much, much more in great detail. It's the sort of book you have by your PC at all times, but also you can take on the train and read. Be warned though, It is not a teach yourself guide it is very technical. But you can learn so much from it, if you are developing ASP on Windows 2000.
