ASP book recommendation for a PHP coder ( 4 Views )

1. Hi everyone,
   
   I'm a PHP coder over 3 years of experience. For a good client of mine, I need to learn ASP for his project and I have to learn it fast :(
   
   So I was wondering if any of you ASP developers can give ma a good book recommendation ? I already have advanced knowledge in PHP/JavaScript & MySQL. So I don't need a beginner level book but a crash-course like book which won't start telling me what an array/variable is :D but instead start directly with intermediate/advanced ASP features. I hope there some books out there for people switching from other languages such as PHP/Java to ASP. I guess almost all ASP projects also use MS-SQL as database back-end. Some introduction on MS-SQL transactions would also be very nice.
   
   I would highly appreciate your help on a good book recommendation as time is tight and I have to start programming on ASP in a few weeks !
   
   
   Thanks in advance,

2. If you have server-side scripting knowledge, then its fine but u still need to get the basics of ASP b'coz most of the time, VBScript is used with it. Sure there r some who use JScript(I m one of them) & I haven't known ne-body who uses ne-thing else with ASP.
   
   You can get Learn ASP in 24 hours or 21 days edition published by Sams Techmedia & available at all decent computer bookshops around the world.
   
   It'll be better if you get some knowledge of basic things like how 2 make n array in VBScript.
   
   Also, I presume u r using Microsoft's IIS for ASP. Then what better place to look for help than http://localhost/iissamples, the official ASP documentation. Its more than a crash-course tutorial.
