ASP in a Nutshell is a must-have for serious ASP developers. I started out a year ago at a new job, knowing only html and some basic javascript. With this book and many days of debugging, I was able to build my first database driven web application. I agree with some of the other reviewers that this book is not for beginners, because information is layed out like a reference book, and also one should be at least somewhat familiar with a scripting language to start taking advantage of ASP technology. But once you go beyond mastering 'response.write' and 'request.form', you will appreciate the books detailed descriptions of other important, perhaps lesser known methods like 'response.flush', 'response.cachecontrol', and 'response.expires', just to name a few. By the way, this is the only book I've read that reveals Microsoft's original code name for Active Server Pages - Denali. They should have kept the name! |
