The book starts with an introduction to ASP, VBScript and JScript scripting, and the transition from static to dynamic web pages. It then covers the intrinsic ASP objects (Request, Response, Server, Session, Application), file-system access, database connectivity via ADO, how to build COM components and use them in ASP, transaction handling, state-management, scalability issues, and touches on related technologies like XML and cross-platform ASP (e.g., Linux/ChiliASP) in some sections.

The approach is aimed at developers with some experience in HTML/JavaScript or scripting, and the book functions both as a learning guide and a reference, with plentiful code examples, detailed explanation of each ASP object and property, design tips for real-world web applications, and advanced topics beyond basics. Reviews mention it serves well from beginner through intermediate ASP work.
