Web Programming with ASP and COM

Active Server Pages (ASP) and the Component Object Model (COM) are two exciting technologies that are quickly making the development of mission-critical Web applications easier than ever. ASP, with its simple scripting languages and well-designed Web object model, is easy to learn. COM is a bit more complex, but is the most widely used standard for distributed reusable software components. ASP and COM provide programmers with the tools necessary to develop applications for e-commerce, messaging, and database front ends. Web Programming with ASP and COM emphasizes the importance of both technologies in an easy-to-read tutorial format. This book covers the fundamental concepts of ASP and COM, and quickly gets the programmer up to speed building Web applications. Topics include: Web client/server model; Component Object Model (COM); ASP object model; ActiveX Data Object (ADO) database programming; Active Directory Services Interface (ADSI).
