Negative Positive
Title: Good documentation of a poorly documented area
Review: This book did what the title said. I was fumbling about with Microsoft Visual Interdev, trying to make custom Active Server pages that wouldn't crash. There was little documentation available and the Interdev wizards, recommended by the online help, were failing on large complex queries involving multiple tables from our MS SQL database. After reading the book, I was able to write my own pages and they worked. The first part of the book was a nice review and provides a good reference of VBScript. The second part was essential. It provided a detailed description and good examples of ADO and stored procedures. To be honest, I am only using server side scripting, so I haven't used the book to learn client side data manipulation. Overall, the book breaks down a complex, poorly documented subject (my opinion), into understandable parts. I would definitely buy it again
