Review
Getting the most out of ASP-based Web pages on the Microsoft Web platform is the mission of Professional ADO 2.5 RDS Programming with ASP 3.0, a practical-minded tutorial for developing Web pages with dynamic content using the latest standards from Microsoft, including ADO, RDS and XML.
Approachability and practicality characterise this book. It features short, comprehensible tutorials on basic ASP development using ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) and Remote Data Services (RDS) for Internet Explorer. The text is filled with useful information, including bug workarounds, gotchas and tips for better performance. Of special interest is the material on using XML to deliver database results. (You learn how to use XML as a standard for processing and saving query results, as well as for storing local results with RDS.) Another helpful section shows how to use Visual Basic to create data objects on the middle tier. This simple solution will at least get you started with Microsoft's Distributed interNet Architecture (DNA) "best practices" for creating scalable Web applications.
One standout chapter shows how to use ADO successfully with Oracle databases (a popular choice with Webmasters). Again, practical tips focus on overcoming known bugs and the limitations of getting these Microsoft and Oracle products to coexist. Useful reference sections on ADO, RDS, (and Oracle) round out the book.
Overall, this is an ideal choice for anyone planning to take advantage of RDS on Internet Explorer on the client, but its good mix of practical tips for the server side of development make Professional ADO 2.5 RDS Programming with ASP 3.0 a particularly valuable resource. --Richard Dragan, Amazon.com

Synopsis
ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) 2.5 is the latest data manipulation toolset that can be used to develop enterprise business solutions. ADO 2.5 is an integral component in enterprise business solutions, including Internet/Intranet applications, as it combines high-speed access to data and a flexible data structure with its simple interface. Remote Data Services (RDS) is a high-performance client-side data caching technology that transports data in intranet/internet solutions. RDS's real power is derived from its foundation: ADO. Using RDS and ADO in ASP yields powerful Web-based solutions that can be built upon a multitude of data resources. This book has been updated to include all the changes brought on by the advent of Windows 2000, it is also a response to feedback and new developer experiences resulting in new content.
