I found the book to not be very easy to understand for people just learning ASP, if you have some foundation in the language it is not bad however. I did notice several mistakes in the examples of code ...I will give exact instances when i come across them again.

You should check out the Beginning ASP 3.0 book forum. You will likely find it to have answers to many of your questions. Don't forget the errata which can be found going to the "Download Code" link at the top of the page
