5.0 out of 5 stars This book helped me to understand the root of ASPs, May 19, 1999

By	Richard J. Gatewood "pheverish" (Riverside, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is the greatest ASP book of all time (in my opinion). Many people have seen my copy and bought their own due to its excellent content. It is a great book for VB developers to start out with ASPs. The only negative point is that interdev 1.0 is used in the examples instead of 6.0. It is better to understand the code though.

1.0 out of 5 stars Just not enough.., April 14, 1999

By A Customer

This book is one of those that you buy and shelve due to lack of samples and references.. If you already know VB then this might help you. However, I find the ASP books by "Wrox" to be a better investment for my money, in addition they also have a website and a message board that provides you with ongoing support. It's not one of those I got your money and run situation. We're not asking for the history of the Internet.. but some decent samples and explanations would be nice..The author of this book should ask himself one question..why would someone buy a computer related "How to book"..

4.0 out of 5 stars GREAT Starting point., February 9, 1999

By A Customer

If you are a fairly experienced VB programmer you will cruise right through this book with a good overall understanding of how to port your VB knowlege to ASP. The examples in this book are very good. For just about any task, you can find an example like it, or an example that you can alter slightly in this book
