Short and sweet "guidebook"
Pros:
- short and sweet 'guidebook'
- beginner (maybe intermediate) level
- just about every page has a different ASP topic
- brief code examples, specific to the topic discussed on that page

Cons:
- e-book is actually 16 individual .pdf files, one for each chapter (can't search a topic unless you know what chapter it was from)
- no in-depth code examples

Summary:
- good reference book that shows just about everything you can do using ASP
- need to supplement with more in-depth examples

Great book. Concise and to the point examples
I don't take the time to write a review very often but I have to give it to the Visual Blueprint Series. The book devotes an extensive chapter near the front of the book (I believe chapter 3) to cover the many aspects of programming, i.e. loops, variables, function calls, strings, and operators. It also covers scripts, HTML tags, ect. Then the remainder of the book is mostly 2 page examples of how to implement these into ASP pages. There is no fluff, it gets right to the point. Many other books touch on subjects and then move on leaving you with these "But what if..." questions. This book doesn't leave you wondering. I give it an A+

Excellent is an understatment
What I most enjoyed about the book is the strategy employed in teaching newbies the basics and fundamentals of asp. It is refreshing that such a book takes a visually inspiring approach to teach people who might find it hard to grasp the language in the first place. Even there service is excellent, i had a faulty cd that came with the book, i emailed customer service and in no time they sent me a new cd, and I live on the other side of the world.
