Synopsis

ASP 3.0 Programmer's Reference relates to ASP 3.0 as included with Windows 2000. However, because ASP is now a core part of so many Web-oriented features within Windows, this book covers a far wider area than just the ASP syntax, properties, methods and events. Windows 2000 is a big operating system, in other words, it is functionally rich and bundled with numerous applications and services that enable you and your applications to do lots of different things with very little effort. For example, with Windows 2000 you can use IIS5 as your web server, you can use Active Directory to share enterprise-wide information, you can Message Queue Services to create applications that can work in a disconnected or a connected mode etc. Therefore, a properly equipped ASP programmer needs to have more than just ASP reference material close at hand to function effectively in this environment. ASP 3.0 Programmer's Reference also covers Components, Active Directory, XML, ADO, Messaging and Collaboration Services, VBScript, JScript and much more making it the complete ASP programmer's desktop companion.

About this title

Review

The ASP 3.0 Programmer's Reference is a well-organized compilation of essential information about the latest version of Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP). It covers ASP development on the Windows 2000 platform and includes full coverage of the various new Microsoft technologies at the disposal of an ASP 3.0 developer.

In addition to the expected documentation of the ASP objects, the book provides overviews of a wide array of related objects and architectures that developers need to know about. These topics are peripheral to the actual ASP architecture, yet they are valuable for experienced ASP programmers.

At the heart of the book is the documentation of the ASP object model. Each object is introduced briefly, followed by coverage of each property and method it supports. Provided are code examples for nearly every method and property, but often only a couple of lines illustrating usage. There're no needlessly fluffy examples here.

Although its title implies a narrow focus, this book provides much more than a simple language reference. ASP developers will find it useful time and again as they explore the new features of the vast Microsoft development architecture. --Stephen W. Plain

ASP is now the pivotal technology used by hundreds of thousands of today's web sites worldwide. Based upon the technique of combining HTML with server side scripting to create web pages dynamically, ASP along with IIS provide a significant amount of infrastructure and services that are needed to create simple or advanced intranet, internet and extranet web applications with rich user interfaces and functionality.
