This is a grate book, except for the fact that most of the examples do not work (even from the provided cd), and some of the controls referred to are out of date and some, no longer supported. The first half of the book is ok to get you familiarized with ASP and web based data access.

The book is probably terrific for managers who simply want to 'read' about the technology. Don't try to put the examples to use though; you'll be quite frustrated.

I found that this book did NOT NEARLY meet the qualities that I have found in other Teach Yourself series books. Teach Yourself Visual Basic 5 in 21 days and Teach Yourself Visual Basic for Applications in 21 days were 100% better than this book.

Poorly written, not tested, not worth the money.

Just as the teach yourself 21 days series, this book is also full of syntax errors. I wish I could get a refund. Surprise, most of the examples in this book simply doesn't work.

I won't buy any teach yourself series again. It just waste my money

This book covers awesome web technologies; however, non-working created a lot of frustrations on my part and makes me wonder about the validity of the entire book altogether.

To the authors, try to test run your examples before releasing the book and its cd.

Very interesting book with lots of information. I had a very frustrating time with the examples that did not work. I ended up not really using the CD at all and just stuck to reading through the examples in the book.
