Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Intranet & Web Databases for Dummies (Paperback)

I've read lots of detail books about web publishing (ASP, JavaScript, DHTML, etc.), but could never quite work out how to fit all the bits together until I read this. I'm not really a beginner, and this _is_ a beginner's book, but I still recommend it highly for anyone (beginner or not) who's looking for a good overview of the various technologies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent beginners book, October 29, 1999

Thomas Salisbury (Mica, Washington) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Intranet & Web Databases for Dummies (Paperback)

Being a new user of SQL 7.0 and ASP, I needed clear, concise information as to how to write htm & ASP code to save information through a web form and to set up a customer form editing capability. This book gave me the sample code and clear discussion to develop those forms.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great beginner book!, July 22, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Intranet & Web Databases for Dummies (Paperback)

I recently purchased your book, "Intranet & Web Databases For Dummies", and I found it to be a great help! Your coding of Active Server Pages was much easier to understand than the script Microsoft's wizards created! I was able to start with a blank page and write all of the script to connect to the database and supply the information I was requesting.
