Summary: Awesome book no matter what you skill level!
Review: Awesome book for somebody wanting to learn more about ADO/ASP/Database Interaction. I was dumped into the middle of a project with very little ADO knowledge and this proved extremly helpfull through my journey. I have recommended this to all of my friends interested in the subject and countless others who ask me for good books.. Definitly worth every penny!

Summary: Outstanding Tutorial for Advanced ADO Features
Review: I am an Internet Engineer for a Fortune 500 company. I recently designed and implemented an enterprise-level customer service Intranet application. This book provided many thorough explanations and examples of advanced ADO features.I made heavy use of disconnected recordsets and data shapes, both of which I did not know how to use before reading this text. These methods allowed me to store recordset objects in session variables (remember, this was an Intranet application so I could dictate the client browser) and thus greatly reduce the load on the back-end database. Criticisms are few and far between. I found a few nit-picky errors, nothing major. I also would have appreciated a chapter with tips on creating MTS COM objects, but I realize that topic can span an entire book (and it has). I appreciated this book so much that after I had purchased and expensed a copy for my department's reference library, I went back and bought another copy for my personal collection. It definitely earns a five star rating.

Summary: And you think you know ADO?
Review: I first bought this book for the RDS part since I've been working with ADO since it got out. I tought I knew ADO and even though I knew a lot about it, I've learned as much about ADO than about RDS with this book! Good for any programmers working with ADO, as always, Wrox made it possible for beginners to understand the book and for experienced programmers to learn new stuff. Another must by Wrox and I'm waiting to get a hand on the "Professional Ado 2.5 Rds Programming With Asp 3.0" that should be coming out soon.

Summary: SIMPLY GREAT
Review: I had developed 2 projects using ADO and ASP before, now I have a third. This time I decieded to get more information about this matter and bought this book which I found of great help. If you really are an experienced user you don't need this book, but if you are new or intermediate get this book, you wont't be dissappointed. It is worth the money I spent. BUY IT. I am getting all I need to build my third project.

Summary: Required Reference
Review: This is a great book because it shows you exactly what you need to know. They get to the point effectively with every topic. I like the real world questions being answered. Like client side or server side cursors. And topics on how to write the more efficient rs object. The only problem I have with this book is the writers lack of expertise with other databases. Like MS SQL server, and Sybase SQL server. Getting information on pitfalls with other database platforms would be invaluable. They kind of tickled us with the Oracle info, I want more now.
