5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent examples of ASP Code using ADO, September 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself Active Server Pages 2.0 in 21 Days (Teach Yourself Series) (Paperback)

The book assumes that you can access a server that can execute ASP. I used Personal Web Server that ships with VB 6.0 on Windows 98. I typed in several of the examples in the first few chapters and all of the code works and is complete. I also downloaded all of the source code from this site. I set up the odbc connections as shown and the code from ch10,11, and 12 is flawless. I haven't completed the other chapters yet. The author illustrates the frontpage editor to build forms which will save a lot of programming time on real projects. I used frontpage express(the cut down version of frontpage) and it generates the same Java code found in the authors examples. I appreciate the use of real world examples as opposed to meaningless snippets of code in countless other books.

I would like to thank the author for this terrific book.

This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself Active Server Pages 2.0 in 21 Days (Teach Yourself Series) (Paperback)

This book is great, my website is much improved because of it but, in the coding examples there are many mistakes, After you read the book though you should be able to correct these. I also found it very simple to edit applications to create amazing databases and asp pages. I suggest this book for people who havde general knowledge of html. Check it out!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as the other Sam's books, but alright, September 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself Active Server Pages 2.0 in 21 Days (Teach Yourself Series) (Paperback)

This book assumes that you know some HTML. I didn't when I started...This book feels poorly thought out and poorly proofread compared to other Sam's books. I also don't like the examples. I feel that when I get to the examples it should reinforce and clarify what I just learned. Instead I am often left confused as the author introduces new objects or features in examples then doesn't explain them until a chapter or two later.
