ASP in a Nutshell 2nd Edition
ASP in a Nutshell provides the high-quality reference
documentation that web application developers really need to
create effective Active Server Pages. It focuses on how
features are used in a real application and highlights
little-known or undocumented features.
This book also includes an overview of the interaction
between
the latest release of Internet Information Server
(version 5) and ASP 3.0, with an introduction to the IIS
object model and the objects it comprises. The examples
shown in this section and throughout the book are
illustrated in VBScript.
The main components of this book are:
Active Server Pages Introduction. Brief overview of the ASP
application paradigm with examples in VBScript. Also
included is an introduction to Microsoft's Internet
Information Server 5.0, the IIS object model, and the
objects that it comprises.
Object Reference. Each object is discussed in the following
manner: descriptions, properties, collections, methods,
events, accessory files/required DLLs, and remarks,
including real-world uses, tips and tricks, and author's
experience (where applicable). The objects--Application,
Response, Request, Server, Session, ObjectContext, and
ASPError, as well as ASP Directives, Global.ASA, and
Server-Side Includes--all follow this paradigm.
Component Reference. This section follows the same paradigm
found in Object Reference. The discussion covers all of the
additional components included with IIS, such as ActiveX
Data Objects, the Ad Rotator, the Browser capabilities
component, the File System Object, and more.
Appendixes. Gives examples in one or two objects and
components using Perl, REXX, and Python in ASP.
Like other books in the "In a Nutshell" series this book
offers the facts, including critical background
information, in a no-nonsense manner that users will refer
to again and again. It is a detailed reference that enables
even experienced web developers to advance their ASP
applications to new levels.
