Reading Material

:dunce: I've been putzing around in HTML for a little while now (ever since I was placed in charge of our division's web pages) and I'm slowly picking it up. I'm looking for some good (read this as for relatively uneducated people) books on ASP, vbScript and anything else I'd need to learn for creating and maintaining HTML forms with ASP responses. I've been using Dreamweaver MX so far so I guess I could stand a decent book on HTML as well. Any help you can point my way would really be appreciated.

I always advise anyone to read O'Reilly books.

The one I bought to learn ASP was titled Designing Active Server Pages......that was a few years ago so it might be on to new versions but I'd imagine you can still get it. Not a very long book (like most of O'Reilly books) but gives you everything you need to get going.

take a look at www.w3schools.com

They take you through all the basics of asp, html, css etc. They give you many working examples and some of the examples are interactive so you can edit things and it will update accordingly. Its a good place to start and its completely free.

If you can, try to use notepad or equivilant, dreamweaver is good but adds unwanted things at times. W3 Schools gives you pure code, so you will soon get used to looking at the code and understanding it.

Goodluck.
