Title: It's just inconceivable...
Review: Regardless of how good the text in any programming book is, the book is pretty much useless if there is not adequate support for the code - particularly in a "By Example" book - which this book purports to be. The book contains no CD to test your code against the authors. Well, that would be OK if there were the support files online - like Wrox has; but NO. No supporting code anywhere. And don't be fooled by the "Where to find the Code" heading in the Introduction - it just points you to sample code for a single chapter. I encountered "internal server error HTTP: 500" in one of the exercises, and wanted to test my code to what the author had written. No such luck. Was it me? Maybe. Was it the code in the book? I'll never know... Buy "Beginning Active Server Pages 3.0" published by Wrox. They know how to support their products. As for this publisher, they don't have a QUE.
Is the review positive or negative?
