JavaScript Programmer's Reference

The JavaScript language is constantly developing, and continues to increase in popularity. Its evolution into a general purpose scripting language from what started life purely for scripting web browsers, is a great success story. You can now find JavaScript interpreters in many different environments and there are sure to be other new and interesting uses for the language in the future, especially now that embeddable interpreters are available.
In this book, we have attempted to snapshot the browsers that exist currently, which need to be supported by web sites, and collate that information together in a form that has broad scope and is deep enough to be useful on a day-to-day basis. As the language is growing all the time, this is likely to be an ongoing task. download

Professional Active Server Pages 3.0

This book is about Active Server Pages 3.0, as included with Windows 2000. However, because ASP is now a core part of so many Web-oriented features within Windows, this book covers a far wider area than just how ASP works. ASP is maturing all the time to encompass more integration with other Windows services and software, and so there are many other areas that impinge directly on the use and performance of ASP.

In particular this involves the Windows operating system itself, including the new security features of Windows 2000, and the Internet server software that comes with Windows 2000 – Internet Information Server (IIS). On top of this are the other less obvious services, which also have a direct or indirect effect on the way that ASP works. These include COM+, the various Internet service administration tools, and – indirectly – the many other services and installed software packages that either provide additional functionality to ASP, or which have interfaces that are available for use in ASP. download
