My new book has been published by Apress and is now shipping from Amazon. It’s one of those team-author affairs, although I believe we did a good job keeping it together in terms of consistency.
The idea is to teach you everything you need to know to create your own dynamic web pages using the ASP in Dreamweaver MX2. Whether you’re just starting out with Dreamweaver and want to learn about ASP, or you’re already proficient with Dreamweaver and want to begin programming dynamic web sites, this book will help you develop your web site programming skills. As they say.
It’s actually an updated version of this book, although I wasn’t involved with the original. This new book concludes with a big project case study that ties in all the techniques learned throughout the book – this was my contribution.
It’s always a little bit funny writing a small section of a multi-author book. Although those in charge of the project can see the big picture and know how it’s all going to fit together, often as the author you don’t get that insight. It can be a bit like designing just one piece of an intricate jigsaw. You’re told what shape it has to be and what you’ve got to meet at the edges, but it’s only when you see the completed work that you get the full picture. I’m often surprised that the process works so well.

FWIW, there is one on PHP in the same series.
What’s the big fascination with writing books all of a sudden? ;)
