Can anyone recommend a good ASP (not ASP.NET) reference book?


I am a ColdFusion developer, but have been asked to provide maintenance on an application that was built in classic ASP. I need a solid reference book, aimed at professional programmers (not beginners), that I can use to teach myself what I need to know (which I expect to be mostly syntax, as opposed to web development concepts). I know SQL well, so the book does not need to focus on that. I've been happy with Osborne Publishing's "The Complete Reference" series (i.e. JavaScript: The Complete Reference) but have not been able to find a book on ASP in that series.

Thanks for any help.

One book I really liked on ASP is "Designing Active Server Pages" by Scott Mitchell of 4GuysFromRolla:

http://www.compman.co.uk/scripts/browse....

It's more of a good practices guide than a tutorial or a reference, though. The 4GuysFromRolla site still has a lot of useful ASP info, check out this FAQ page:

If you really want more of a complete reference book, have a look at the "ASP in a Nutshell" book from O'Reilly:

http://www.compman.co.uk/scripts/browse....

It's a bit out of date (as most ASP books are these days) and wouldn't be suitable for beginners, but covers all the important features.
