Omar Elbaga and Rob Turnbull first take you through the new version of Dreamweaver, and how ASP fits into it, then look in-depth at setting up your work environment installing ASP, Access (and SQL Server), and the IIS web server, making sure they are all working together, and setting up a new web site via Dreamweaver. They then get to work, using several tutorials and real world examples, covering topics such as ASP Essentials (knowing what ASP code looks like,) working with forms, designing and implementing effective databases using Access and SQL Server, debugging and troubleshooting, and creating dynamic navigation, login, and search functionality.

Examples built throughout the book include a content management system, and an online image gallery. All examples are designed to meet modern usability requirements and be web standards compliant. No previous experience of ASP or databases is required to use this book.

Supports the new version of Dreamweaver, a huge potential market Dreamweaver has over 3 million users worldwide Is fairly unique within that market a book purely focused on ASP web development with Dreamweaver that teaches professional techniques, and doesn't treat readers like idiots (it isn't aimed at the "dummies" audience) ASP has been superceded by ASP.NET, but still remains very popular amongst Dreamweaver Developers
