Summary: Good for the Basics
Comment: The great advantage to this book is that it's concise. I am a web professional, and I was looking for a book that would help me get up to speed quickly with ASPs. By following the examples, I was able to complete basic tasks, including retrieving data from forms, reading files, and accessing databases. It is clearly organized, and it was easy for me to skip around to the topics that interested me.

The main drawback of this book for me is that I will probably need another book to help me with more advanced topics. Also, it tends to rely on the examples to teach the reader so if you're looking for a more general explanation of ASP objects and architecture, look elsewhere. Finally, the first 100 pages were a waste for me because I was already familiar with Visual Basic and HTML. The book could also use a larger reference section. Still, I give the book 4 stars because for the target audience of beginning ASP designers I think it's an affordable, effective solution.

In short, I would recommend this to a beginner who wants to learn the basics of ASPs quickly, and doesn't want to do much reading.

Summary: Neat layout, but too simple
Comment: I liked the layout of the book, but it's way too simple for anyone that's already had to deal with ASP. I've been using ASP for a few years now and thought maybe this might contain some nuggets of info that I'd overlooked. Well, it didn't.

If you're new to ASP, I'd recommend it pretty highly. The way the book is layed out with blow-by-blow details is superb. If only there were DCOM books like this..

Summary: Short and sweet "guidebook"
Comment: Pros:
- short and sweet 'guidebook'
- beginner (maybe intermediate) level
- just about every page has a different ASP topic
- brief code examples, specific to the topic discussed on that page

Cons:
- e-book is actually 16 individual .pdf files, one for each chapter (can't search a topic unless you know what chapter it was from)
- no in-depth code examples

Summary:
- good reference book that shows just about everything you can do using ASP
- need to supplement with more in-depth examples
