Query: ASP without all the junk

As much as everyone seems to love Homer's ASP book, I must say that I like this one a little better. The writers have an edge and aren't a bunch of Microsoft lackeys. This book is smaller than most other ASP books because it gives you what you need to know not every single property of the Recordset object. I found this refreshing and it was easy to get my web app up and running. For more advanced (and sometimes esoteric) topics you should couple this with "Teach Yourself Active Web Database Programming."
