Does anyone have a good classicasp book they can reccommend, including best practices, good design. I am stuck in Classicasp land and I want to make sure I do it right.

Please up vote the best one.

+4  A: 

Two part series (but the same book if you push them back to back)

Beginning ASP 3.0

Professional ASP 3.0

If you have been working with Classic ASP previously, and understand core computing concepts well, then you could skip the Beginning book.

Kyle B.
Could I skip the beginner and go straight to Professional? I have worked with classic for a few months now.

if you have experience with other programming languages; definitively.

I also recommend the ASP wrox book. I have the pro and it is good.

Absolutely the Wrox books. They were always useful

I would also want someone that knows of a good Jscript (not vbscript) ASP book to hopefully reply, I have been searching for sometime now and haven't found a good one.

Books? Why do you need them?

If you have doubts, ask here :)

I liked the ASP 3.0 Visual Blueprint book. It was a pretty good reference book and didn't contain too much info.

Jason N. Gaylord
Great. Thanks! I will check it out.

O'Reilly's "JavaScript: The Definitive Guide" is a must-have if you're going to be using JScript. Although it doesn't cover ASP directly, it is an excellent reference book for JavaScript.

I agree about the O'Reilly Javascript book, however my favourite ASP book is

Sams Teach Yourself Active Server Pages 3.0 in 21 Days (Sams Teach Yourself...in 21 Days)

It covers the very basic stuff, and includes good practise, although I could never get the Stored Procedure code to work.

For a more advanced take I recommend:

Designing Active Server Pages: Scott Mitchell's Guide to Writing Reusable Code

This really goes into detail about reuse and admin pages.

I enjoyed my ASP programming days, don't despair, it's a really neat scripting language!
