ASP, ADO, and XML Complete covers three essential technologies used for Web programming on the Windows platform. ASP (Active Server Pages) is Microsoft's technology for creating dynamic, interactive Web sites that run on Windows and Internet Information Server. ADO (ActiveX Data Objects) is Microsoft's database access technology for connecting Web sites with back-end databases, such as SQL Server and Oracle. XML is the markup language that will be the cornerstone of data exchange between applications across the Web and is a foundation of business-to-business e- commerce. This book is for any Web programmer who wants a complete reference to the most popular technologies for building Web sites that run on Windows.
