Rating: Summary: Very Good Reference Review: I learn to program in ASP using this book. You will find good information about related topics like http protocol and ADO (to access databases). I'm using this book everyday. But I found some errors in the ASP code in the book, and the book don't cover the ASP VbScript.

Rating: Summary: Very good reference Review: Though I use this book sometimes for reference i really must i did not need this book. I guess i am more advanced in ASP than i knew. This book is not a guide for beginners but for someone intermediate who wants to explore more of the features of ASP. There are many things i've learned from the book, which i didn't know was possible before. It's a very good reference book, but it is not a tutorial or anything like that, so if you are a beginner and need a guide to asp then do not buy this book. The only bad thing about it is that it should have covered more of using databases and sql with asp. I would recommend this book for someone who are intermediate asp-developers or someone in the middle between beginner and intermediate and want to take the next step.
Rating: Summary: Great Reference Review: This is an excellent reference book, not a tutorial. I use it nearly every day and it rarely fails me. If I had one criticism it would be that the ADO and FileSystemObject objects could be covered in a little more detail. I'd like to see return values of the functions, and listings of the numeric values of the various constants (e.g adCmdTable = 2). Also, both this book & Developing ASP Components promise "Mastering ActiveX Data Objects" from O'Reilly. Where is it!
Rating: Summary: Remember, it's a reference book Review: Keep in mind that this, and all "....in a Nutshell" books are designed to be reference material, not how to books. From that standpoint, this is an excellant desk reference for any ASP developer. After using another book to ease into ASP, this one became my standby for day to day development. If you are looking for something to teach you ASP, look elsewhere and then buy this one when you're done.
Rating: Summary: Quick Reference for ASP coder Review: It provides u a quick reference for ASP objects and components. Properties, methods and collections are explained cleary and simply. Useful examples tells u how to use them smartly. Introduction to ASP let u take a quick review of both ASP and its history
Rating: Summary: Expectations were discouraged... Review: Being O'Reilly has published a great line of publications, I was expecting "ASP In A Nutshell" to be a lot like "Webmaster In A Nutshell". It is not. In fact, the explanations are a little lengthy. Brief and to the point is what I expect out of a quick reference book. The usage ("example") code is nice and I do find it beneficial to put the code in context. Overall it's an intermediate level ASP reference guide.
Rating: Summary: great book! Review: After reading "ASP Unleashed" I still did not 'get it'. It was not until I read this book that all the pieces fell together. Clear explanations without a lot of unnecessary detail, examples for each API. A great programming book for programmers!
Rating: Summary: Clear but not for beginners Review: I learned ASP through this book and it was painful. But now that I know what I'm doing I use it all the time.
Rating: Summary: This book rocks! Thoughtful Instructor. Review: Gotta give it up for this introduction to ASP: Five stars! A sober, clever, and clear explanation of the ASP object model; very non-partisan. Excellent background material on the http protocol, specifically on how requests are made by the client and processed by the server (with printouts of the transactions themselves from the TCP/IP packets). Enabled me to feel like I was getting a "ground level" view of the process and to understand how ASP builds on these technical foundations. Excellent work; excellent research. (Footnote: I also appreciated the "enlightened" use of she/he throughout the examples -- very pleasant; no disconnects.)
