Customer Reviews

Fantastic, thoughtful book. I really enjoyed this book.

This book has many things to bring to the table that neither the WROX Professional ASP and QUE Special Edition Using ASP offers. This author covered many things none of the other books did. The things I enjoyed are a) Thoughtful InterDev coverage, not mindless coverage like other books b) Pro FrontPage approach (I do my entire site with FrontPage and ASP) c) Q and A sections and technical article references were superb. d) URL List was a fertile base of research, you covered a lot of obscure URLs I did not know of and I appreciate your broadening my knowledge. e) The beginning programs were imaginative and useful not just a rehash of the ASP roadmap. I particularly like the arrays and CreateText file sample. Conciseness is an art form and doing a book one quarter the size of others while having massive amounts of useful information is a major accomplishment. This is really a nice piece of work and I find something useful on practically every page.

Comprehensive all purpose guide

I found this book to be very comprehensive in its treatment of the subject matter. Apparently, the author didn't want to focus on Active Server Pages exclusively, but chose to include a look at the overall Active Server development environment from a 50000 foot view. I find myself referring to this book often for quick tips on NT, ASP, and Visual InterDev. I'd recommend it.
