A MUST BUY!

I really enjoyed the SE Using ASP book. Generally, I like a books that tie everything together. My hat's off to this book for accomplishment. It covers all the details of ASP like a champ and then provides a great launching pad that I needed to build 3-tier web applications. I also liked it because it didn't insult my intelligence with simple examples. It made me think out of the box that most books like to keep you in .

GREAT BOOK!

This book stands alone among the horde of ASP books available! Even though there are a couple of obvious typos, this book covers it all! It ties every part of the development aspect together and servers as a great guidebook and reference book. I give the other ASP books to my junior level developers to learn from - but my senior staff also turns to this book as the go-to ASP reference. Definitely money well-spent!

A Winner!!!

I am a certified MCSE. I am also currently pursuing an MSCD certificate. I do admit that some sections of the example codes in this book are not perfectly clear nor precise, however, the ideas and concepts of these example codes are pretty straight forward and self-explainatory. The book is very well organized and easy to read. It covers a vast topics in ASP, including DCOM, ADO, VB, InterDev, ODBC, MTS, ActiveX, Ms Queue, and also SQL Database -- basically, if all the previous topics mentioned above needed to be fit into 700 pages, Scott Johnson did it RIGHT, you can't ask for more. If you are working with MS SQL server 6.5 and IIS 4 server, and that you are following the exercises in the book like I had, you will be shock to realize at the end that you have built an n-tier internet and extranet front-end database application! Excellent book.

A very good guide to ASP

"ditto" to all the comments below. This is a thorough, well-written and very well-organized book that is definitely worth its price. Don't hesitate to add it to your bookshelf!
