The main reason why Microsoft's ASP has achieved great success is its scalability. The most effective way to extend ASP is to develop custom ASP components.
However, I have never found information that clearly and completely explains the techniques for developing custom ASP components. And successfully developing ASP components occasionally requires that you be a jack-of-all-trades, with knowledge of COM, the programming model, COM+, and the ASP object model, and mastery of one or more language tools and development environments.
That's why this book was written. This best-selling book has been completely rewritten for the second edition. This new edition covers almost all issues that are concerned by component developers running Windows 2000 and using IIS 5.0 and ASP 3.0. The first part of the book covers the following topics, which are essential for developing effective ASP components: ASP components and COM (Component Object Model); ASP components and the threading model; ASP components and COM+ services; ASP components and ASP scripts interaction.
