Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you can buy ONE book on ASP, make it this one!
Review: I spent two weeks reading this book from cover to cover, and by the beginning of the third week I was writing ASP pages like some kind of guru!

This is one of the best programming books I've ever seen!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best beginner books on any computing subject
Review: Hatfield writes clearly and with some humor. In just the first couple of days of reading his book, I was able to create commercially useful ASP apps. I cannot recomend it highly enough.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent introduction to ASP programming!
Review: Based on recommendations from a website, I bought the WROX book "Active Server Pages 2.0" to learn ASP. I found the book to be generally well-written and comprehensive, but a bit cryptic. I then bought ASP for Dummies. This is a tremendous book! Not as comprehensive as the WROX book, but very easy to read, and it generally covers everything most web developers will need to develop ASP pages. If you are a highly technical person and want to know everything about ASP, buy the WROX book, but if you want a clear, concise introduction to ASP programming, nothing can beat ASP for Dummies.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great introduction to ASP
Review: While generally not a big fan of the "For Dummies" titles, I found this book to be a great introduction to ASP and was able to apply many of the concepts learned to my company's intranet. The concepts learned provide a solid foundation for enhancing your development skills with ASP. I would certainly recommend it to any beginner to the world of ASP.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A very worthwhile investment
Review: Previous to reading this book, I knew only that ASP meant Active Server Pages and that you could access databases with it. I knew nothing else, and this book gave me all the information that I was looking for.

I found the examples very useful, especially in terms of accessing databases which is really why I bought it. The CD comes with all the source code, and I'm now happily ASPing away!

I only have one criticism (and it's a small one); I would like to see a bigger section on VBScript, and perhaps a command reference at the back of the book.

Well worth the money.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good Introduction to ASP
Review: This is a good introduction to ASP. It is easy to read and covers the material well. Perfect for the programmer who is looking for a start with ASP. I would not recommend this as a library reference.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An easy read for understanding
Review: ASP for Dummies, like most Dummies books, offers an overview of the concepts of ASP in an easy-to-read format. A very nice book to start out with, but not very useful once it comes down to actually writing your own code. If you're asking yourself, "what is ASP?" buy this book. If you're looking for a reference manual, then keep searching. I haven't found a good one yet.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Learn by Examples
Review: I can learn all the terms and syntax of a product or technology. But I won't really understand it until I see it working. This book gives you "real world" examples and then reverse engineers them. Bill makes sure you understand what each line in the example is doing.

This book introduced me to and answered all my questions about ASP.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Buy it Today
Review: Read most of the book, helped me a great deal, worth every penny (considering the company payed for it). If your a beginner in asp or want to know more about server side scripting, buy this book today.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Book . Buy this if you are new to asp
Review: Great book. This is the book to get if you are new to programming or if you are new to ASP. Great examples without all of the jargon.
