Summary: Should've tested the code ...
Review: I found this book to be useful as a reference tool, but many of the examples they gave simply did not work (in IE or Netscape). The ASP chapter was sparse, but the ADO coverage was good. Probably not for beginners...

Summary: Theory book only - don't try to put it to use
Review: This book covers awesome web technologies; however, non-working created a lot of frustrations on my part and makes me wonder about the validity of the entire book altogether.To the authors, try to test run your examples before releasing the book and its cd.

Summary: Some examples don't work but good coverage of ADO & ADC
Review: This book had good coverage of ADO and to a certain extent ADC. For the first 5 chapters a lot of the examples didn't work which is frustrating because you expect examples on a CD to have at least been tried before being included. All of these could be made to work by changing the code around a bit. You would think as the book was part written by a Microsoft person that they would know what they were doing! All I can say is if you do buy this book don't think it's something your doing wrong when these examples don't work - Hopefully this will be corrected in future editions.

Summary: Out of date
Review: This is a grate book, except for the fact that most of the examples do not work (even from the provided cd), and some of the controls referred to are out of date and some, no longer supported. The first half of the book is ok to get you familiarized with ASP and web based data access.
