Summary: Learning is a process in Instant ASP Scripts
Review: Knowing a little about SQL and almost nothing about IIS or ASP I was able to use the scripts. They are designed with enough explanation of each line that after reading the book first I was able to implement them with no major problem. Some of the modules come without the data and a program to load the database. This was overcome by using the knowledge that was already taught to accomplish these tasks. The goal after all was to enable me to create the scripts and implement additional modules by myself. The goal was not to give me a system that I would never know how to or want to add additional functions to. I implemented several of the modules on SQL 7.0 with no changes so I assume they will also run on SQL 2000. I look forward to reading his other books.

Summary: Poor quality
Review: The author has done a poor job of considering the importance of the reader's time. Hundreds of pages are redundant wasted repetition of the same information -- horrendous waste of reading time. Samples are set up in the most complicated organization possible. Plan on spending dozens of hours moving files from the CD creating data connections, editing and compiling to get to a working set of examples to follow along in the book. Never does he explain steps to create a working example. That is left to tthe reader to dig out, if they can. As a teaching manual this book gets a zero!

Summary: Straightforward explanation. Simple examples.
Review: This book is good for those who just start developing COM objects for ASP. I think the way the writer starts from a simple example and escalates to a more complex issue is commendable. The scripts detailed in this book are functional and ready-to-use in nature. Kudos to Buczek for that. It sure did save me a lot of time. I don't use the CD at all. But looking at the the scripts gave me an idea where to start. Though I won't recommend this book for advanced COM developers, this book sure is worth the money for beginners.

Summary: very useful and practical
Review: This is extremely useful and practical book. It does'n waste your time on empty wordiness, but gives you just what you need to get it done. For me, a programmer with long experience needing to pick up just another technology, this was just what I needed. Got me going in no time. Thanks, Greg! Hope for more books like that from you.
