Online Scheduling System
In a typical high-tech organization, often there is a need for engineers to visit client sites for installation or on-site support for periods of days or months. In such a scenarios there are requirements for a means to track job requests, check existing schedules, allocate human resources for sales-service-installation visits, check resource utilization, timely reminders and so on.In this article, Paresh Joshi will develop a system using ASP.NET that addresses these needs with an in-built work flow and approval mechanism. Online Scheduling System With ASP.NET was written by Paresh Joshi for ASP Today. System requirements to use the information provided from this article are Windows 2000 Professional Server with IIS 5.0, Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 or higher, and an Email Server. This ASP.NET article was reviewed by Dinar Dalvi and Dane Schultz. You can download this complete ebook (e-book) and read it online using Acrobat Reader.

Porting a typical ASP 3.0 Application
Although XSL has been around for a while, there are nto many articles that describe the scenario where an existing classic ASP application needs to be transformed to use new web technologies like XML, and XSL(T), to map the benefit of certain advantages in the development and maintenance areas. Therefore, this article will do just that, it will talk about posting a typical ASP 3.0 Web Application to one that uses XML and XSLT. On the way, specific issues encountered will be looked at an possible solutions in XSL will be provided. In addition, performance testing will be part of the redesign process to eliminate early rising issues. Porting a typical ASP 3.0 Application to use XML and XSL(T) was written by Pieter Seigers for ASPToday. It is a ebook (e-book) that requires you have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed so that you can view PDF files. The title is not compatible with Pocket PCs, PDAs, or other handhelds.

Professional Active Server Pages
Professional Active Server Pages 2.0 thoroughly explains databases and ASPs, from the architecture of ActiveX Data Objects (ADO), object linking and embedding database (OLE-DB), and open database connectivity (ODBC) to the basic objects used to query and manipulate data in Web pages. The latter half of this book gives some perspective on the issues that real-world Web developers face every day. The authors discuss how to overcome the "stateless" nature of Internet using specific ASP objects. The book also includes material on the strategies for creating online communities through Microsoft's support for chat rooms and personalizing content; Dynamic HTML, and how to use Internet Explorer specific capabilities. The authors introduce new Microsoft products, such as Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) and Microsoft Message Queue Server (MSMQ), and provide a very useful case study of an e-commerce Web site for direct sales for a publisher.

Professional Active Server Pages
This book is about Active Server Pages 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 how ASP works. ASP is maturing all the time to encompass more integration with other Windows services and software, and so there are many other areas that impinge directly on the use and performance of ASP. In particular this involves the Windows operating system itself, including the new security features of Windows 2000, and the Internet server software that comes with Windows 2000 - Internet Information Server (IIS). On top of this are the other less obvious services, which also have a direct or indirect effect on the way that ASP works. These include COM+, the various Internet service administration tools, and (indirectly) the many other services and installed software packages that either provide additional functionality to ASP.

Professional ADO RDS
ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) 2.0 is the latest data manipulation toolset that can be used to develop enterprise business solutions. ADO 2.0 is an integral component in enterprise business solutions, including internet/intranet applications, as it combines high-speed access to data and a flexible data structure with its simple interface. Remote Data Services (RDS) is a high-performance client-side data caching technology that transports data in intranet/internet solutions. RDSs real power is derived from its foundation: ADO. Using RDS and ADO in ASP yields powerful Web-based solutions that can be built upon a multitude of data resources. This book exploits the real world experiences of expert ADO/RDS trainers and developers who know how to squeeze the most out of these hot topics. This book helps jump start development by assuming that the reader has a basic knowledge of ASP, VBScript and SQL.
