Active Server Pages Programming

Active Server Pages Programming

The purpose of this book is to give the novice and the professional web designer a concise introduction to the features and use of ASP technology. The book does not assume that the reader has a programming background. The content, by design, emphasizes the "learning by doing" approach. The scripting languages that are used in the text include HTML, VBScript, Visual Basic and JScript. The text includes projects about database-driven websites, design of web forms, Ad Rotator implementations and the creation of COM components. The projects also include the use of application and session objects as well as cookies. You will study enough about ASP technology to understand what you are doing and will gain an understanding of ASP programming components by using them. After you complete the assignments in this book, you will be able to adapt many of them for your own website. The projects are designed to work with both Windows 98 and Windows 2000.
