Active Server Pages (ASP) are HTML Web pages that have embedded programming code. Because you are able to write the code directly into the HTML page, development, testing, and finalizing programming code is much faster than the traditional means of developing CGI scripts. If you already have a healthy understanding of Web page development and HTML and are looking to develop a page or site that is more dynamic, ASP is the way to do it and ASP Fast & Easy Web Development will tell you how. This book filters out a lot of meaningless material and gives you the information that is most important to you. It is concise and easy to follow. This book is best if you already have an understanding of Web development. Contents include VBScript basics, procedures, classes, and server-side includes, application and session objects, the ADO connection object, the ADO command object, testing web application, useful ASP resources, using the CD-ROM, and more.
This is an indispensable quick reference to one of the Web's hottest technologies, Active Server Pages.

ASP 3.0 Programmer's Reference relates to ASP 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 the ASP syntax, properties, methods and events. For example, with Windows 2000 you can use IIS5 as your web server, you can use Active Directory to share enterprise-wide information, you can Message Queue Services to create applications that can work in a disconnected or a connected mode etc. Topics include: ASP intrinsic objects, scripting objects, Active Server Components, ADO, ADOX, DNA 2000 application architecture, performance testing, Data Shaping, security, Active Directory, XML, Messaging and Collaboration Services, VBScript, JScript and much more making it the complete ASP programmer's desktop companion. A properly equipped ASP programmer needs to have more than just ASP reference material close at hand to function effectively.

If you have ever developed applications using languages such as Java or Perl then you will no doubt be aware that they have standard facilities for generating code documentation. Microsoft have also added a similar facility to C# (but curiously have omitted an equivalent system from VB.NET). Unfortunately there is no code documentation standard for ASP, so as a result, documentation for an ASP application tends to be thrown together at the last minute, and due to time and/or budgetary constraints may not be created at all, leading to problems in the longer term. In this article we'll look at some commercially available documentation systems and design a simple asp documentation application. ASP Documentation Systems was written by Brett Burridge for ASPToday. This ebook (e-book) requires that you have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed so that you can view PDF files. This title is not compatible with Pocket PCs, PDAs, or other handhelds.
Aimed at the beginning or intermediate Web developer, this is an extremely useful, cookbook-style tutorial that helps readers of all levels use ASP (and JavaScript) to create Web pages dynamically by concisely offering a series of simple, effective ASP examples. The full source code is included, along with extensive annotations and suggestions for extending the code in custom projects. This approach is ideal for anyone who appreciates a hands-on approach to learning. The examples themselves are immediately practical. First off, a date-time script gives out a random "tip of the day" read from a text file on the server. Then it's on to basic database programming with ADO and ASP. After a quick tour of database basics, readers learn some expert techniques for generating forms based on any database table without changing ASP code. Topics covered include: date and time functions; working with text files; databases; tables and records; and much more.

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. Topics covered include an ASP overview, application of ASP objects, ASPError, ObjectContext, Request, Response, Server, Session, Glocal.ASA, Installable components (ActiveX Data Objects 2.6), Ad Rotator, Browser capabilities, CDO for Windows NT, Content linking, Counters, File access, Logging utility, MyInfo, Page counter, Permission checking, Tools, Converting CGI/WinCGI applications and much more.
ASP Internals examines the inner workings of ASP and shows readers how it interfaces with COM, enabling them to develop outstanding Web applications. Because the source code for ASP is not openly available, author Jon Flanders has created an ASP clone, Active COM Pages (ACP). In revealing its source code, he provides a view under the hood of ASP so developers can finally see and understand how it works and how they can most effectively work with it. ASP Internals covers each aspect of the ASP runtime. It demonstrates ASP integration with COM+ transactional services. And, most important, it shows readers how COM objects are created and interact with ASP. Other important topics include: How ASP is translated to and from the HTTP protocol; ASP, IIS, and ISAPI, including threads, security, and the Web Application Manager; How ASP and the Scripting Engine integrate with COM; ASP's built-in internationalization features, including a look at Unicode.
