ASP in a Nutshell: A Desktop Quick Reference (In a Nutshell (O'Reilly))
The second edition ofASP in a Nutshellgives developers of  Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP) a quick reference guide for looking up  object usage on a dime. This guide is geared toward working ASP programmers who  need to get their answers quickly, without wading through long examples.The book is organized into three parts: an introduction to ASP, a language  reference, and appendices. This edition has been updated for IIS 5.0 and ASP  3.0--respectively the latest flavors of Microsoft's flagship Web server and  scripting engines. The ASP introduction is very brief, but it adequately  explains the basic concepts behind ASP and server-side scripting.The heart of the title is the language reference that covers the intrinsic ASP  objects, plus ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) 2.6, Collaboration Data Objects, file  access, and more. Each section is tagged with staggered page markers that  usually make it unnecessary to resort to the book's index to find a topic.While there are no full-blown code examples, the small code fragments that are  included for most objects are valuable in illustrating usage. Throughout, the  information is accurate and to the point, which is exactly what busy programmers  really need in a desktop reference.--Stephen W.
