Summary: Reall Cool Book for me
Comment: It is really a Beginning Book although it doesn't really fit the title. Alot of folks will probably be scared away by the treatment that they put on ATL and OLEDB providers but i love it! Why? Becoz i've read Grime's Beginning ATL 3 COM and it was really painful reading but these guys made the concept seemed EASY!
I like their walktruhs on RDS, ADSI and MSMQ, really neat. Something for me to get started on concepts which I am new to. Their treatment on MTS seemed like they pilfered the chapter from another wrox book - Professional VB MTS which covers the topic slightly in detail.
Otherwise, this is truely a Beginning Book, but a caveat to VB and ASP only programmers as they will find this book too hard. Wish that Wrox come up with another book called Beginning COM ASP with ATL. Which will be really be great with the way they handled the topic.

Summary: A Bit Painful...
Comment: I just completed the book through to Chapter 15 where the case studies start up for the final three chapters. I had a tough time with this book. It seems to follow the mode of other Wrox books of being technically sound, but the spelling and grammar mistakes along with occasional errors in the examples make it a tough read. I learned a lot about creating ASP callable components in Visual C++ and VB. The use and coverage of the intrinsic ASP objects was very useful as were the DB examples using ADO and the OLEDB helper classes. Tough parts include the treatment of MTS and transactions. These parts were too much of an overview and seemingly incomplete. A discussion of why MTS is better than handling transactions than closer to the RDBMS itself would have been helpful (such as with ADO or SQL to the DB). I found the MSMQ and ADSI chapters to be too much of a gloss over to be helpful. Wrox has dedicated books for these two topics. All in all, the book isn't bad for some of the valuable information I got out of it, but it could have been better.

Summary: This is the defacto book on ASP components is redefined!
Comment: I'm really pleased to have found a book that gives so many practical examples of creating ASP components in VB. This books covers all the the technologies like XML and MTS that ASP developers should know about, and it does it well.
I've read other ASP component books from other publishers (such as Developing ASP component by Shelley Powers) but none have given so many examples, or been as technically deep and clear. With this book I've got a good handle on how to write my ASP components, which I just haven't got from other books.
Great book, thanks guys.
