Rating: - My Favorite Book On The Topic
SAMS "Unleashed" series of books have long been my favorite brand for technical literature. This book is one of several reasons for that.
The first 80% of the book goes through a lot of explanation on how to do things with the ASP web development language, with plenty of great examples, usually boiled down to your empirical needs. The last portion of the book is a very handy object reference.
Of all my technical books, this one is probably my second most-used one. This ... Read More
Rating:  - The best book on ASP
Excellent content plus excellent examples!
Rating: - It's like a whole lot of really big books in one!
I bought this book about a year ago and refer to it often.
I've just spent some time on Amazon researching other VBScript, SQL and ASP books to see if there was anything that offered more.
With a list of books in hand, I went to my local technical bookshop and spent 3 hours sifting through about 10 books to see if any were better.

Rating:  - Useless purchase
I'd call myself an intermediate web site designer, and this is the worst technical book I have ever purchased. In order to learn, a person must understand the "why" with the "how". This book explains none of that. There is no learning here. If all you want to do is memorize examples of code, then purchase this book. But if you want to know how and why the code works so you can extrapolate, even maybe get creative with it and develop, then YOU DON'T WANT THIS BOOK.
Rating:  - Good, but has some factual errors
On the plus side, this book provides a comprehensive coverage of most ASP topics. However, some topics like Index Server get only a superficial coverage.
However, I did find some factual mistakes. For example, the author advises against turning buffering on (Response.Buffer = True) because it will have an adverse effect on performance, but of course the reverse is true.
