Great for ASP/Access programming

I purchased this book when it was first released. At that time, I knew what ASP and IIS was, and how to use ASP and VBScript to do stupid things like manipulate dates and write to the browser window. ASP is only interesting when there's a database involved. This book got my feet wet with making ADO connections to an Access backend to build REAL applications with ASP. Recommended for the total ASP/database beginner.

Great for the big picture

I've read lots of detail books about web publishing (ASP, JavaScript, DHTML, etc.), but could never quite work out how to fit all the bits together until I read this. I'm not really a beginner, and this _is_ a beginner's book, but I still recommend it highly for anyone (beginner or not) who's looking for a good overview of the various technologies.

Excellent beginners book

Being a new user of SQL 7.0 and ASP, I needed clear, concise information as to how to write htm & ASP code to save information through a web form and to set up a customer form editing capability. This book gave me the sample code and clear discussion to develop those forms.

Ok book to start with.

This is not a great book but it will explain the basics. It's easy to understand even for me who's not that good in english. So if you new to ASP and databases this is good book to start with.

Great beginner book!

I recently purchased your book, "Intranet & Web Databases For Dummies", and I found it to be a great help! Your coding of Active Server Pages was much easier to understand than the script Microsoft's wizards created! I was able to start with a blank page and write all of the script to connect to the database and supply the information I was requesting.
