This book is intended as a reference guide for developers who write Active Server Page web applications. Whether you are a professional developer paid to work magic with the Web or an amateur trying to figure out this web development thing, this book is for you. If you are coming to ASP from CGI, I hope this book will help make your transition from CGI to ASP an easy one.
I hope this book will be a very accessible, very convenient reference book. While I was writing this book, I envisioned myself (or one of you) with half a line of code written, trying to remember what options were available for the specific property or method I was attempting to use. I wanted a quick access book that would sit on my desk and be there when I needed it. I hope I have achieved that goal.
This book is not for the beginning programmer that knows nothing about the Web. There are already several books out there that will teach you about web applications and even how to write ASP applications specifically. Although each chapter starts with a brief overview, I have included these sections only to put the current object for that chapter in the context of Active Server Pages as a whole.
