Of course you'll also need a reference to VBScript (or JScript depending on what you're working in -- I like JScript much better, but all the examples are in VBScript so it's a safer choice). It's a small book, the chapters are organized around the "objects" in ASP (Session, Application, Request, Response, etc) and there's a decent chapter on the ADO access components for the database. And as another poster suggested, the WROX books are pretty decent, but usually full of a lot of filler. The Beginning ASP 3.0 (I think that's the name) had good, basic data access example code. The Professional ASP was good, but only the first 5-6 chapters were normal ASP -- lots of case studies, COM integration, etc is what I remember in the rest of it.
