Well, I think the best way to learn ASP is in this kind of order...

1. Basics - date formatting, If...else...end if, case select, formatting strings.
2. Response Object - learn how to the write to the page etc.
3. Request Object - learn how to retrieve information from visitors
4. Session/Apllication object/global.asa - learn create state and pass information from page to page
5. DB Interaction - learn how to interacte with a DB, ie. adding/removing/editing records
6. COMs - learn how to use the ones that come with IIS and ones that are available on the web. Possibly learn to write them



Thats what I thnk you need to cover.

Hi
I need to know where i can find tutorials on how to connect to a database. I can't find a decent tutorial anywhere... please reply

Khalid

I know there is several examples there...

www.hotscripts.com has lots of links to tutorials on asp including database basics.

hi..
i just visited hotscripts.com.. its a very good resource...thank you
Anyway.. is there anything else... i mean.. when we talk about databasing.. what are we talking about.. just the usual function such as adding,deleting,updating and displaying records..
Is that all.. or is there something else to it as well.

Hello Khalid

do you have a specific project you want to work on in ASP? I find the best way of learning a language is to actually do something practical with it, rather than trying to learn it in an abstract way. Then you can decide what aspects are important, based on what you need to do.

Hope this helps,

Veronica

hi veronicay
That is part of my problem.. i don't have a specific assignment to do in ASP yet. But i am working in a software house and i know that i am going to get a project pretty soon and it is completly going to be based on ASP. So i just want to be well prepared for that. I don't want to then start learning about ASP.
