ASP is not difficult to learn, but there does seem to be a dearth of _good_ (e.g., appropriate) material on the subject. However, there are a couple of recommendations that might help. <br>
<br>
The first is
which is a site maintained by Charles Carroll. A more specific link is
that will provide access to his 'quick lessons'. The first link is provided jsut so you'll be able to see some of what Charles thinks he can do. The second link is a freebie that Charles has provided which shows that Charles is not far off in what he thinks he can do.<br>
<br>
Also, the second link, if you progress through it in order, will give you a fairly solid grounding in ASP. At the very least, it will equip you with the ability to use ASP and your scripting method(s) of choice to develop in areas that you might have thought denied to you because of server-side requirements. Be aware that most of the script involved is vbscript.<br>
<br>
There is a downside to ASP, but it is being overcome. ASP is, or at least was, pretty much WinNT server specific. But Chili Pepper Software has a solution that allows ASP to run on Apache servers, and I've been told there are others. Bound to be more, because ASP is really pretty simple for the effect it can produce.<br>
<br>
OK, there's another ASP resource I wanted to mention, but I don';t have the refernce for it right now. It's a book, Professional Active Server Pages 2.0, out of WROX Press. Hah! Found the ISBN. It's 1-861001-26-6: $60+ US, $80+ Canadian, don't have a clue what it might cost elsewhere, but it _is_ good.<br>
<br>
There's probably more I should say here, but, 'I'm tired and I want to go to bed . . .," and you can pick your own tune for the lyric <grin!>.<br>
