Summary: Deceiving Title
Review: When I bought this book my aim was to learn the new technologies that will aid me through my quest of learning how to design and develop an E-Commerce sites, but I was disappointed.To Begin with, the name of the book does not reflect the actual content of the book, and I don't know why the author has chosen a name with Visual Basic where almost two third of the book is simple asp codes along with ADO and stored procedures. On the other hand, the 725 pages of the book is mostly wasted with code listing which are very similar except the name of the stored procedure in some cases, or the database operation. This was quite useless especially when there is a CD accompanying the book. Furthermore, It would have been much more useful if the author has focused on building web application using the DNA model via designing and creating COM components and utilizing MTS. More emphasis on using Site Server would have been a great help. Finally, I cannot say that the book was a total loss, as for me it was, but maybe for beginners in ASP it might be useful. If you know your way in asp, ado, and SQL stored procedure don't waist your money on this book.
