Summary: Really Excellent
Review: As a HTML web-designer I was always a bit afraid of database programming techniques, until I got this book. The really good structure introduces subjects as you go, it is actually possible to read this book. The examples are clear and simple, and each one is explained nicely, so you really can see how it works.It really introduced me to the subject so that I got interested. Now I can judge the subject, see what others have been doing and judge which of the deep technical books are good. In a nutshell, it was an easy way to demystify the whole subject. I have been very happy with the book and can recommend it to everyone interested in ASP.

Summary: Wonderful introduction!
Review: By using this simple book you too can get a toe into the ASP waters. Keep in mind the fact that this is a beginner's book. However, sometimes assumptions are made that might not be accurate for a beginner. Nevertheless, an excellent book. It is small enough to be fully read (and exercised) in a weekend. At the price, it's a real bargain. And while I'm not the "book learnin" type, I found the sparse yet understable text to give me the information I needed. It's no bible of info, but just an introductory course...

Summary: The best
Review: I am a web programmer and College instructor. I have just ordered a classroom-sized load of this book for my Server-Side Programming course. I think the book is wonderful.

Summary: Great Start Up Book
Review: I just started to learn ASP. I have programming experience so it was relatively easy for me. This book has great, easy, PRACTICLE examples for what you would use in a real-life application! It delivers that reasonably well. In addition, explanation of ASP basics done very well. On the other hand, I wish the code examples could have been formatted better for easier reading; for example, perhaps the keywords could have been in a different color, and use of indentation inside loops, and If..Then..Else statements, would make for easier reading. Overall, great book, great price!

Summary: I was amazed how good it is
Review: Prof Dr Mellor is not only a master programmer, but also really knows how to make readable books. As a not-really-native English speaker, I had no difficulty with understanding the material. But the material is structured so well that (perhaps to my surprize), I ended up learning ASP. Well done !

Summary: Excellent teaching text book
Review: This book has been adopted by us (and other colleges) because it is an excellent introduction to ASP at the beginner level, for 1-credit courses. The book is well built up, pedagogically correct and at a price that suits the students pocket. It covers ASP with both JavaScript and VBScript, inc files, IIS, PWS4, ODBC, SQL, Access, the object model and contains a useful capter on debugging. Recommended for all teachers (and students). Why is this book not in amazon.co.uk?

Summary: A great book on ASP
Review: This book is small and easy to digest. It teaches you the basics of ASP pretty well. The only question I had afterwards was, "why would I want to use ASP?" I have experience programming web sites using Java Server Pages (JSP) which are much more robust. If you must use ASP, this is a great place to start. If you have a choice, I would go with JSP instead.
