Matthew

Hello I am looking for three good books that really cover the above topics. I am nto that new to web design I have been creating web pages with frontpage for 2 years now and I have a pretty good grasp on basic html but I would rather not invest my time when frontpage does such a good job. But I am very interested in these topics. In regards to asp I am much more interested in the database aspect of it I really dont need to do programs like chat boards,forums,etc. Thanks for any suggestions. Matt

Hi Matthew,

I'm glad that you have a pretty good grasp on HTML, but unless you have a
REALLY good grasp on it, learning ASP, CSS, and JavaScript aren't going to
be much help, since all of these technologies are about generating and
manipulating HTML. Therefore, I would recommend studying HTML in more depth
as well.

The JavaScript Bible, by Danny Goodman, is an excellent and comprehensive
reference on JavaScript. I co-authored a book with John Kauffman, on ASP
with Databases, called "Beginning ASP Databases" published by Wrox
(available through Amazon.com), and I have a web site
(http://www.takempis.com) where I have articles and interactive tutorials on
the basics of ASP and ADO (ActiveX Data Objects - which ASP uses to connect
with databases).

I don't have a good book reference on CSS. However, the web site
http://csszengarden.com is an awesome demonstration of the capabilities of
CSS, and I believe there are some references mentioned there as well.
