Reading material requested - ASP / Active Server Pages

Ciberguy

I am -totally- new to programming. I got stuck with this assignment because
no one else wanted it so it was assigned to me.

I am looking for a book that covers ASP that is easy to read and more
importantly easy to understand. I don't have much time to learn this
language. We have several problems at our site and they expect me to fix
them ASAP.

Thanks!

IMO, the best book is Beginning Active Server Pages 3.0 from Wrox.

Thank you Tom & Ray for your suggestion! I scanned most of the reviews about
the book. Nothing less than four stars! I am off to pick up the book!

THANK YOU!

One sad thing to be aware of is that Wrox exists no more... It's a shame.
I don't think I've ever not liked a Wrox book that I've read. But this one
should still exist somewhere!

Cheer up Ray! Wrox still exists! They had some temporary down time, but
they did not go away. All of their books should still be available (except
some old out of date, out of print stuff). :)

I tried to find the book Beginning Active Server Pages 3.0 in several local
book stores. I even checked out used bookstores in my area hoping that I
could pick up a copy there. No such luck. The only place I was able to
purchase the book was via Amazon.com thanks to Ray and Tom. The best part is
that it only cost me twenty bucks! I could have paid less but this book will
serve as reference material for a long time so I rather have a new copy.

Thank you Peter for the link! At least I can download the source code for
the entire book and print out the errata now. At this point all I can do is
wait. My boss won't like this but I am sure that he will understand. No one
else wanted this assignment anyway.

Thanks guys for your help! I am sure that we will "talk" soon after I
receive the book.

Cheers!

around or back.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
