Professional ASP Techniques for Web Masters (Wrox Professional Guide) Book

HTML is all well and good for building static Web sites, but let's be honest--it doesn't do very much on it's own. Thank goodness then for ASP, Microsoft's software add-on to its IIS web server package which allows Webmasters to add dynamic content to their creation through the use of scripting. With Professional ASP Techniques for Webmasters, Alex Homer shows how to get the best from the technology, turning his attention to the better ways in which Webmasters can employ ASP to maximal effect. From site security to remote data access and user access logging, there's something here to pique the interest of even the most confident site owner. Homer, a prolific computing and Internet author, has produced another quality publication, combining in-depth--but not verbose--content with plenty of "type and try" examples. The only downside, and this is a small thing really, is he lack of examples written in JavaScript. Almost everything in this book is presented in VBScript , which isn't a big problem to translate over if you're a Jscript fan but it would have been nice. At the end of the day, it's easy to criticise a work for the things it doesn't contain. Happily there are many more plus than minus points for Professional ASP Techniques for Webmasters and it makes truly interesting reading for those of us with Microsoft-based web solutions.Read More
