1) Paperback Book ASP in a Nutshell: A Desktop Quick Reference, Second Edition by . This is an excellent companion book to ´Professional Active Server Pages´. Like most O´Reilly Nutshell texts, this book is designed more as a reference aid, rather than a learning text. If you buy both the Professional ASP tome, and this reference guide, you´ve bought everything you need for ASP.¤

2) Paperback Book ASP in a Nutshell: A Desktop Quick Reference, Second Edition by . As a student in college, I want to learn some advanced web programming language. I found this book is very helpful for beginner. I also get a discount from couponsky.com when buying this book. This book is not only useful for beginner´s studying, you also can take it as reference after you finish the studying. I recommend this book to the beginners in ASP.¤

3) Paperback Book ASP in a Nutshell: A Desktop Quick Reference, Second Edition by . Somewhat in a rush and while trying to learn ASP I purchased this book. I thought it was aweful and it collected dust for nearly 6 months while I searched elsehwere to boot myself up on ASP. However, now that I´m fairly proficient at ASP, this book has been helpful as a reference. No so much for the actual reference value but becasue the sample code helps put things in perspective.¤

4) Paperback Book ASP in a Nutshell: A Desktop Quick Reference, Second Edition by . I was an ASP programmer several years ago after which I moved to a different technology. Now, I need to come to speed on .NET, but unfortunately all the ASP.NET books make innumerous references to the old ASP which I have almost forgotten.

The book helped me *VERY* quickly go through ASP 3.0 and now I feel very comfortable reading the .NET books and can now truly appreciate ASP.NET.

A GREAT reference book!¤

5) Paperback Book ASP in a Nutshell: A Desktop Quick Reference, Second Edition by . Be warned, if like I did, you think that this is the only book you´ll need to be able to build ASP scripts; you´re very much mistaken. Whenever I recommend this book, I always recommend it alongside VBScript in a Nutshell as you really need knowledge of an ASP supported scripting language before you can use ASP in a Nutshell to it´s full potential!

This is yet another reference book that I´ve owned both editions of because I thought it was useful enough to update; but then, my site is developed using ASP, so I´m probably biased in this respect. Ok, so I got the 1st Edition late on in the game and was a little reluctant to part with cash for the new edition - but as IIS 5 started to become standard for Windows hosting, and I had access to it after getting Windows XP Pro... I thought it was about time I updated it.

ASP in a Nutshell is my first point of reference when I´m looking up the properties of a particular ASP object. I´ve also found it an invaluable guide for connecting and manipulating ASP scripts that used ADO for data storage and manipulation. For a while it was the only book I owned that covered the issue of connecting ASP scripts to databases.

Most of the installable components I´d never heard of before getting the book, just as well really because few are of much use - even if they aren´t available on your system, a lot can be easily reproduced. The areas I find myself most frequently refering to are the main set of ASP objects, the FileSystem Object and the ActiveX Data Objects. These go into enough detail to keep all but the experienced programmers happy.

For those new to the Windows scene, there is a brief but detailed guide to setting up ASP to work with your IIS server; but it´s hardly rocket science since a clean install of IIS will set up most (if not all) of what you need anyway! If you use ASP regularly, or you intend to, then ASP in a Nutshell should be on your desktop... but please remember it won´t fulfill all your ASP development needs without another book to fill in the language gaps. What book you choose to accompany it depends on your language and experience... I personally like VBScript in a Nutshell.¤

6) Paperback Book ASP in a Nutshell: A Desktop Quick Reference, Second Edition by . Active Server Pages (ASP) has become a standard for developing server-side Web applications. Prior to the development of ASP, all information served to the client´s browser was static -- the Web server did not dynamically generate any part of the site´s content. ASP allows Web developers to dynamically generate browser-neutral content. ASP in a Nutshell provides the high-quality documentation that developers really need to create effective ASP applications. It focuses on how features are used in a real application and highlights little-known or undocumented apsects. This book also includes an overview of the interaction between the latest release of Internet Information Server (version 4) and ASP, plus an introduction to the IIS object model and the objects it comprises. This detailed reference enables even experienced Web developers to advance their ASP applications to new levels.¤

7) Paperback Book ASP in a Nutshell: A Desktop Quick Reference, Second Edition by . While ASP in a Nutshell is not meant to be a full-fledged tutorial of Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP) technology, it offers a great way for experienced Web coders to ramp up on ASP. After an introduction to ASP, author A. Keyton Weissinger rapidly reviews the progression of content from static form to the Internet, covering CGI, ISAPI, and ASP 2.0. The author clearly explains how ASP works and how server-side components can work with ASP code to further extend server-side functionality.

The core of the book is the object reference for ASP coding. Six chapters document all the key programmable ASP objects and each includes an area on Comments/Troubleshooting, Properties Reference, Methods Reference, and Events Reference and offers further explanatory text where necessary. Weissinger uses frequent, brief coding examples to illustrate each important topic. He closes the middle section of this book with details on pre-processing directives and the Global.ASA file.

The last part of the book discusses ActiveX Data Objects, NT Server Collaboration Data Objects, and a number of server components (such as the Ad Rotator, Content Rotator, My Info, Page Counter, and Permission Checker) in depth. ASP in a Nutshell provides a concise but detailed breakdown of all key ASP coding topics. --Stephen W. Plain¤
