Anyone who has experience with HTML, XML, JScript, or VBScript, should avoid this book. The first half is introductions to the above languages with very little or no ASP. Most examples are suitable and others a poorly done and leave too much to the imagination.
The slow pace seems to assume the authors expect the reader to have no programming or webpage development background at all, however some of the examples seem so vague in places it would be difficult for a beginner to piece it all together.
I don't recommend this book to anyone who is learning ASP or any other mentioned language. While the book does baby step the reader towards more complicated work, I believe it doesn't cover the fundamentals it mentions fully. I suggest reading books on HTML, then CSS, and then ASP. With those three, anyone would be able to make a spiffy looking website with tons of features.

Active Server Pages 3.0 by Sandra E Eddy Review

The books was very helpful in my programming. I used many of the examples from book in my code. I think that if you are a beginner wanting to learn some Server side scripting this book will be an excellent place for you to start. Thanks

Scattered and indecisive...

It's very obvious this book is written by a staff. In attempting to hold your hand from the very most basic concept of a web page, to a fully database enabled ASP site (in 500 pages??), this book passes over nearly every necessary piece of information you could need. If you already know HTML, then half of this book is already worthless to you. And the authors of this book can't seem to decide whether they perfer HTML to XML, or VBScript to JScript. Examples of all of the above are scattered throughout the book, and leave you wondering which one you should know. Not to mention the "article style" format of this book, where each concept is intrduced and concluded in a 2 page block (whether the concept has been fully explored or not, they're gonna fit it into two pages), and right when you think you're going in one direction with ASP, they come in with an article about XML, and you're scratching your head again. My advice: if you know HTML, and you want to really learn how to program Active Server Pages, and not just scratch the surface, get a book on VBScript (not JScript) with more depth and less breadth.
