I was the tech editor of this book, so I've read every word. The authors dig deeply into ADO 2.5 and get into under-used but fascinating areas of the technology such as ADOX, Shapes, Streams and COM+. As I said in the cover quote, these guys really do understand the technology - they aren't just regurgitating the Microsoft documentation. Also, check out the huge amount of very valuable code in the book. Most of it is in Visual Basic for Applications which can be adapted easily for Active Server Pages or regular VB. Although the book is not designed as a reference book, I often use it to look up ADO syntax that I've forgotten. This is a great book to learn ADO 2.5 and to apply it in real world scenarios.
