| I admit that I rank close to worst ASP coder out there and I am very willing to learn more. I was wondering how you great MOD creators have so succesfully learned ASP. Did you take a tutorial on the internet? Do you recommend a site? Please let me know... |

I basically looked at other people's code, especially Snitz and just disected the heck out of it to the point where I understood what was going on inside and out. I also visited sites like http://www.devguru.com and read about every ASP/ADO object. I've been programming for some time now although I would not consider myself a hardcore programmer. However, my point being that once you understand logic concepts of a programming language, the rest come fairly simple.
For web development, I think it is crucial that you understand HTML COMPLETELY before trying to integrate higher level javascript/vbscript coding into it. |

Set up an asp web server locally using PWS or IIS, you can get a free one for any version of Windows except XP Home (or Windows 3.1 and earlier :). Mess around. Read the docs. Download some asp apps like snitz & others & spend the time to understand how the code works. Learn your way around the msdn library.

Teach yourself ASP in 21 days by the guys at http://www.4guysfromrolla.com . It's a really good book for someone looking to learn ( though previous programming experience is VERY helpful ).
Other than that, look at code, mod it yourself, add comments and tinker with it some more!

I started out with Beginning Active Server Pages 3.0 from Wrox.
I'm not very far advanced, but I'm also not in a hurry and am content to pick up things slowly. Still haven't really made much progress on Beginning ASP.net

I'm still in the process of learning ASP but here's basically how I've learned. I dream of the possibilities and come up with ideas and then search to figure out how to do it.
For example, recently I had to rename about 150 jpg pictures from an employee number to the first part of their e-mail address before the @. All that information is held in a database and I realized that you could do a lot with filesystemobject which I've never really learned before. So, I ventured out learning what I needed to about filesystemobject and about 30 minutes later I had all my pictures renamed. |

Thanks everyone.
Visit this site if you would like to see some of my coding skills. Most of that site was typed from scratch by me minus the comment form, javascript used to make chat room, articles section (which I will be doing sometime), and the forum (of course  ). Let me know what you think. |

I'm still not a really great ASP programmer, but I can do almost all of it relitively easy. My advice: Go to www.w3schools.com taKE THE asp TUTORIAL (AND html/xhtml IF YOU DON'T KNOW THEM WELL ALREADY), and install Snitz MODs...once you install enough, you'll begin to understand Snitz pretty well. I don't think there is muxh Snit code left that I don't understand :).

If you have a Win2000 CD you can setup a Local server on XP Home....I could never get it to "Serve" but it ran great on http://localhost |
