ASP in a Nutshell, 2nd edition, provides the high-quality
reference documentation that web application developers really need to create
effective Active Server Pages. It focuses on how features are
used in a real application and highlights little-known or
undocumented features.
This book also includes an overview of the interaction
between the latest release of Internet Information Server
(version 5) and ASP 3.0, with an introduction to the IIS
object model and the objects it comprises. The examples
shown in this section and throughout the book are illustrated
in VBScript.
The main components of this book are:
- Active Server Pages Introduction. Brief overview of
the ASP application paradigm with examples in VBScript. Also
included is an introduction to Microsoft's Internet Information Server
5.0, the IIS object model, and the objects that it comprises.
- Object Reference. Each object is discussed in the
following manner: descriptions, properties, collections,
methods, events, accessory files/required DLLs, and remarks,
including real-world uses, tips and tricks, and author's
experience (where applicable). The objects--Application,
Response, Request, Server, Session, ObjectContext, and
ASPError, as well as ASP Directives, Global.ASA, and Server-Side
Includes--all follow this paradigm.
- Component Reference. This section follows the same paradigm
found in Object Reference. The discussion covers all of the
additional components included with IIS, such as ActiveX Data
Objects, the Ad Rotator, the Browser capabilities component,
the File System Object, and more.
- Appendixes. Gives examples in one or two objects and
components using Perl, REXX, and Python in ASP.
Like other books in the "In a Nutshell"
series this book offers the facts, including critical
background information, in a no-nonsense manner that users
will refer to again and again. It is a detailed reference
that enables even experienced web developers to advance
their ASP applications to new levels.

read it, learn it, live it
I use this book every time I code ASP. I've got the first edition - this one should be even better. As always in 'Nutshell' books about Microsoft's products, you can count on it to tell you how the objects REALLY work, which is not true of MSDN (VBScript in a nutshell is great for this too).

THE best ASP guide
Before I purchased this book, I had a fairly shallow knowledge of the workings of ASP. I certainly wouldn't have been able to complete a monstrous ASP project without it. After going through it, I feel that ASP is simply second nature to me. Not only are there excellent guides and overviews, but the reference sections are absolutely top notch!

Outstanding for the experienced VB developer...
This book came highly recommended to me by a friend. However, the whole "...in a Nutshell" thing made me rather skeptical. After reading the book in just under a week, I can say that I am a skeptic no more! For MCSD's like myself who are already pretty comfortable with MTS, ADO, and n-tier development yet still lack a disciplined mastery of ASP specifics, this is THE book for you. I would not, however, recommend this book to a completely novice VB programmer. If you are new to VB (Yes, of course you don't need to use VBScript to get a lot from this book, JavaScript or even *gasp* PerlScript will do just as well!) I would recommend picking up the VBScript in a Nutshell book. For an outstanding primer for distributed programming with an emphasis on MTS components, get the "Mastering Enterprise Development with Visual Basic 6.0" book from Microsoft Press, which was also a 5-Star book!
