I need an ASP reference book. 3

[BlindPete]

I know I'm an old salt, but I still prefer a book, which I can dogear, postit-note, and write on.

I'm looking for a programmers ASP reference manual. Something with the object model documentation, examples, and discussion of strategy would be preferred.

I speant about an hour at the book store last night and could not find anything that fit what I was looking for. I figure someone here already has one and could make a recommendation.

I prefer the ones from Wrox Press. Mine are dog-eared & coffee stain

I am an lover of WROX as well but their ASP 2.0 reference is really bad. I don't know if they have a newer one out yet you may check. However, I use VB & VBA in a NutShell for VBA stuff and the WROX Professional Active Server Pages books for ASP. You will find that you use the VBA reference the most, I do.

Pete, I think you'll find that you need more than just an ASP reference. If it has any database connectivity, you'll need some SQL/Access stuff too. Also, some quick JAVA for those times you have to do it the JAVA way. I used four books (company paid... sorry about the $):

Used this one for the quick and dirty how-to to get my feet wet:
1) SAMS Teach Yourself Visual InterDev 6 in 24 Hours by Tom Archer

Used this to get an understanding of ASP & SQL:
2) SYBEX Visual Basic Developers Guide to E-Commerce with ASP and SQL Server by Noel Jerke (Came with a CD with ALL of the CODE on it - including SQL Server Scripts)

And use the following two as references:

3) SYBEX Mastering Active Server Pages by A. Russell Jones (Came with CD including Sample Code, Scripts, Chili!Soft ASP Developer Edition)

and 4) IDG Books Visual InterDev 6 Bible by Mansfield and Revette (came with sample code on CD-ROM).

I was happy with all four books. Although #2 tought me alot!... it left out a few steps that would have been easier to handle/understand if known from the get go. - I do think there is a new or revised edition by Noel Jerke =====================

Thanks to all.

I am already quite handy with Java and SQL. I am new to ASP and Java Script. Thanks again, my budget is paid by my comapany too, so its not so bad as could be $ wise.

Thanks again!
