Good for beginners; Slow and repetative for advanced - 2004-07-20
Reviewer Rating:
If you don't have any Visual Basic experience and/or much web development experience and you're looking for a book to get you in the door to ASP 3.0, this is the book for you. However, if you have a fuller programming background, you may find it tediously repetative and lacking in full scope coverage. For instance, there is no space given to handling XML.

On the bright side, I found it pretty easy to breeze through sections where I had familiarity.

A great learning tool for ASP beginners... - 2005-05-17

...and a great reference for the advanced programmers.

This was the first ASP book I bought when I began to learn the language two years ago. It has an excellent tutorial methodology to it which is very easy to comprehend. It is also well written by two guys that know what they're talking about! (You can visit their web site at 4guysfromrolla.com)

Even though I have since purchased several other books on the subject (hoping to expand my knowledge base), I continue to find myself referring back to this one. Granted, this book is certainly not the be-all for Active Server Pages, and I have not found one that is, however, it is by far the one to begin with and hang on to.

FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY! I definitely recommend this book!

Excellent book to learn ASP-both for beginners and programmers - 2006-03-31
Reviewer Rating:
I wish more Programming books were as good and easy to understand. This is a must read book if you are new to ASP, both beginner and Programmer-new to ASP.

If you have problem understanding the first few chapters, go pick up Sams teach yourself ASP in 24 hours and then come back to this book.

This book is great. I am a programmer but have been a mianframe programmer for a number of years. I recently started a new postion supporting a Classic .ASP application and have to make some changes. I am having to learn Classic .ASP from the beginning and this book is very helpful. It is written for people without a programming background so it explains everything very simply. Going from mainfram programming to object-oriented progamming has been a challenge and this book is a great beginner book.
