Customer Reviews

Excellent Textbook
This book starts by putting ASP in perspective followed by easy coding examples (each followed by an excellent detailed explanation) working gradually up to quite complicated techniques. Mini-projects are included, and the book has a high pedagogical and academic standard. I now use the book as standard recommended text for beginners on our courses. The book is very popular as the students find it really easy to read, to learn and understand. Well done !

excellent
This is not a book for nerds, but if, like me, you are new to ASP, then I can really recommend the easy learning style. I was astonished how fast I picked it up, the principles are illustrated in simple examples. Now I can say that I have learnt the basics and can continue on to read the big expensive manuals.

Pleasantly surprized
Prof Mellor is not only a master programmer, but also really knows how to make readable books. As a non-english speaker (or at least not native) I had no difficulty with understanding the material. But the material is structured so well that (perhaps to my surprize), I ended up learning ASP. Well done Dr Mellor, and I'm also proud of me :o)
