Summary: Easy To Follow Examples
Comment: I bought this book because of the reviews on this site. This book turned out to be more advanced than expected. If you are going to buy this book, make sure you know HTML, some JavaScript, basic SQL, and VBScript. Through the examples I was able to pick up the SQL and VBScript knowledge with a fair amount of effort. The thing I liked about this book was that it stuck to the topic at hand. Lots of other computer books stray far away from their topics. Several times in the book the authors said...that a certain topic was beyond the scope of the book and if you want more info look elsewhere. Another nice thing about this book was that you can complete 75% of the examples using free downloadable software (MS Personal Web Server). On the other hand, the IIS/NT Server topics were over my head. You will learn a lot if you type in all of the sample code and try to follow along with the examples. On the downside, this book seemed to skip from topic to topic without any real transition.

Summary: ASP in 24 Hours
Comment: Very poorly written. The authors should pay you to read this book. With VC++ 6.0, chapter one, listing 1.1 SysAllocString(L"Hello, ATL!"); that L is a type cast to OLECHAR FAR *. The same orthgraphy is in the source code. Listing 1.2: it seems that the #include should be for Hour1Server which was created on page 6, not Day1Server. Also no idea what a Day1Server_1.c is but it is referenced later on page 53 in chapter three. Too many forward references in chapter one to concepts that they say will be explained in later chapters like five or six. This is not a stepwise refinement to learning ATL. For SAMS Publishing, a sorry excuse of a book. Best to pass on it.

Summary: Not that impressed
Comment: If you have the patience I think this book could be good. In my opinion it fails to deliver because it strays from the format that is the reason I usually buy their books. This book spends WAY too much time explaining code and way too little giving you examples of how to do things within ASP and creating commom web pages and functionality. If you have alot of patience buy this book, but if you're looking for one full of step-by-step tutorials then I'd look elsewhere. Also, if you have the most recent version of IIS it's outdated.
