1. brilliant introduction to ASP - Highly recommended

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, November 12th, 2004

   brilliant introduction. takes the subjects and explains it in a very coherent, focused and clear way. I have looked at some books - but none was as clear and focused. The best book to introduce a beginner to ASP. highly recommended. now I am waiting for more advanced ASP book by the same writers...or actually - any book by the same writer will be at the top of my reading list

2. A good introduction

   Rated 4 out of 5 stars, February 12th, 2004

   I bought a copy of ASP Made Simple because I couldn't devote the time to ploughing through those giant, expensive tomes you usually see on this kind of subject. The authors have done a good job in making a complicated topic understandable. The book project code is clever in that it sets out to make a rudimentary working database-backed site rather than simply demonstrate coding principles. On the negative side there are one or two typos in the listings, but apart from that this is a good little book, handy for fellow autodidacts and students limited by time and budget.

3. Simplicity

   I thought ASP Made Simple was an excellent book for beginners, especially for me - (I'm a grpahic designer, not so much a tech head). I found it easy to understand, easy to follow, jargon free. Although there was a little problem with the code, it did cause me some confusion (only happened with the first printing apparently). I got in touch with the dudes who wrote the book via the publishers and solved the issue no worries.
   To the authors - Thanks for the simplicity!!

   I bought this book being a newbie to ASP technology. I work in the Web industry as a designer and programmer. I found this book to be an excellent introduction to ASP, and I have since bought the ASP.net and XML Made Simple -
   ASP Made Simple is a fantastic book for anyone wanting to learn the basics. It is full of jargon free information and the authors explain things with a pristine clarity.
   I would definitely recommend this book to students, people already in the IT industry (like myself) or anyone simply fascinated with what the web can do. It is wonderful for getting to grips with creating dynamic web pages and the authors provide the readers with real world life projects.
   Get it and see for yourself -
