Easy to Read, Easy to Understand

I love this book. The writing style is easy to understand, and carries the reader forward in a natural progression. It's a book that can be read straight through. It has great tutorials on VBScript and SQL (although I wanted more on SQL), and a lot of friendly ASP tutorials. Definitely a great book for the library. It's hard to find everything you need to develop a web application in one book, which is why I give this one 5 stars. I can get quick answers, or read through for more complete understanding. I have a lot of ASP books, but this is my favorite due to its completeness and easy, friendly writing style. I love Kris Jamsa books, and now I'm adding Rob Francis books to my Must Have list.

Great intro to ASP.NET

I was very intimidated about moving to ASP.NET. This book's seven lessons on ASP.NET got me up and running the same day! Very easy to understand and follows -- explains the differences you must know to get started.

The best book I have found

This is by far the easiest book to understand that I have found for Active Server Pages -- my hats off to Rob Francis (I just bought his Visual Basic book -- I hope it is as good).I have been trying to use PHP -- Francis makes ASP very easy to understand and shows how to integrate key objects to perform complex tasks. PHP even makes more sense now ... but I am going to stick with ASP.I am not using ASP.NET yet, so I can't comment on that part of the book.The ASP material is very good and very easy.

great book for beginners

I had never created an active server page before. My Web site had over a dozen after my first weekend with the book. The lessons make the process very easy!
