Instructional

Beginning Active Server Pages - Francis, Kaufmann, Llibre, Sussman and Ullman

This book is a must-have for anyone developing an advanced web site using Microsoft's Active Server Pages technology. The completeness of the book is a refreshing change from the more common 'primers' or 'specialized techniques' type of instructional references. The writing is easy to follow and the 'How it works' sections get to the point. Highly recommended.; Rating: Five Bullets
