Title: Fluff, No Substance
Review: I'm an ASP Developer. This book has let me down many times, I'm at the point now where if I have a question about SQL Server, I use online resources rather than wasting my time with this book.I suppose if I were a DBA I would enjoy the book more? Not Sure. With ASP and SQL Server both being Microsoft Products, coupled with the fact that the 2 often go hand in hand in complex projects, I wonder why they barely touched on how ASP relates to SQL Server.This book is certainly not aimed towards developers. Things like Views and Stored Procedures are not written very well at all which leaves me to look towards other resources and to leave this book collection on the shelf.I supposed I got this becasue the Mastering ASP 3 book is such a gem, a true art work of knowededge. Don't be fooled with this one!!
Is the review positive or negative?
