Rating: 4.68/5 from 84 reviews A great learning tool for ASP beginners...A Great book for Developers and NewbiesSams Teach Yourself ASPs in 21 Days is one of the few books that is helpful to both the experienced web developer wanting to learn a new developing platform and a new developer wanting to understand some of the basic concepts behind web design. The 21 day system introduces a good teaching method which focuses on some of the basic functions and objects of the language before moving on to teaching how to use these tools to create an RDBMS. I have developed primarily in ColdFusion with a SQL Server back end but having read this book, I'm convinced that ASP is a much more powerful way to develop an RDBMS. It's a great introduction to an object oriented web development language and is a great starter for those new to object oriented programming or programming in general. At approximately 700 pages, it's one of the shorter books covering ASPs with all the content you need. Beginners ParadiseExcellent stuff if you are a beginner. For advanced junta, there are other hard-core books on ASP, forget this one. Actually this book is only for beginners. If you know nothing about ASP then this one is for you. I am not sure that you will be able to do any advanced scripting with this one, but if you are a newcomer to scripting world or ASP then this is the ultimate choice. Everything is explained in a simple manner. Starting from the basics of ASP to VBScript, Objects - Session, Server etc, File System Object and to Databases, everything is explained keeping "beginners woes" in mind. Must buy for a beginner. If you want to enter ASP, then this is the first step. GO GET IT !!!. | ||||||||||||||||||||
This was the first ASP book I bought when I began to learn the language two years ago. It has an excellent tutorial methodology to it which is very easy to comprehend. It is also well written by two guys that know what they're talking about! (You can visit their web site at 4guysfromrolla.com)
Even though I have since purchased several other books on the subject (hoping to expand my knowledge base), I continue to find myself referring back to this one. Granted, this book is certainly not the be-all for Active Server Pages, and I have not found one that is, however, it is by far the one to begin with and hang on to.
FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY! I definitely recommend this book!
