There are a ton of books on the subject, as well as web pages.

Books:
Beginning Active Server Pages 3.0 - Wrox Press - ISBN: 1861003382 (I've not been very impressed with the editing of Wrox books, but they generally have good examples to run through)

Professional Active Server Pages 3.0 - Wrox Press - ISBN: 1861002610 (Dito the note above.)

Web Sites:
[learnasp.com...] (an intimidating looking page, but chock full of great examples and lessons)

[asp101.com...]

[4guysfromrolla.com...]

[aspalliance.com...]

That should get you started!

Hi Brett
Check out the following books relating to ASP:
When I first became interested in learning ASP, I picked up 2 books from the SAMS series:
SAMS Teach Yourself ASP 3.0 in 21 Days.

SAMS Teach Yourself E-Commerce Programming with ASP in 21 Days.

Both are well-written, easy to understand, and serve as a good introduction to ASP. In general I have found that the SAMS books just don't cut it, but these 2 books were definitely a worthwhile read.

However, if these aren't your cup of tea, check out Mastering Active Server Pages 3.0; it is one of the more complete ASP guides. It covers a wide range of areas relating to ASP. I have taken a look at the Wrox books, and prefer this book (all 30 chapter of it!).

Unfortunately the information on the internet about ASP is quite fragmented, although the above recommended sites will supplement the information in print. You might want to check out:

Happy learning :)
