Since I started this site I always look for my information on websites before a book. It doesn't hurt to have a good book available for reference. Depending on how your going to program. ASP 3.0 by wrox press probably hands down(in my opinion) is the best book to bring you up to speed and use as reference laster. 3.0 is part of win2k/iis5.0 and 2.0 is NT 4.0 and IIS 4.0. Depending on which platform your going to do. It might be a bit advanced at 1st until you learn the objects and methods of scripting. If I was you and your background I wouldnt waste the money on beginner books. Learn ASP in 21 days might be another book to think about but that is your choice. Between my site, learnasp.com, 15seconds.com to name a few most times the answers are already there. Just my thoughts hope it helps.<br /><br /><br />------------<br />Bryan Borough at 4/17/2000 5:55:02 PM<br /><br />I'm a programmer - have worked with C++, VB and VBA.
