asp/access project..help please

Hello everybody
I'm trying to do a project in asp and access. My intention is to make a Website for a financial firm which have the following features ;Bidding, Fixed deposits, Savings Account, Loans etc.
I'm new to ASP.The poor thing is that I have to submit the project before September30. Please quote the good books' name which is helpfull for fast learning.
Thanks 4 everybody in advance.

Check out SAMS "Teach Yourself ASP in 21 Days" and some of the O'Reilly ASP books.
As an additional tip: don't use Access for anything that is going to be on the Internet and experiencing much use. Access does not handle multiple connections and such well at all. Use MS SQL Server, or MySQL, PostgreSQL, or something meant to be used with for many users.
Also, if you are just starting now and don't know what you are doing yet, good luck. Its going to be very difficult/nearly impossible to learn all you need and still have time to make a quality product. Anyway, HTH. Good luck

This always makes me laugh :-)

People think they can learn programming in 24 hours I mean c'mon seriously...people

Programming is a craft and just like any other craft, you need to master it.

You don't create Sculptures after reading 2 or 3 books and expect people to pay thousands for it(although people are crazzy you know!)

Not only that, did you see the SIZE of computer books?
Their like 200 to 600 pages, how can you read/comprehend so much information in such a short period?

If you can, then I strongly urge you to change field and make 4 times the money you'd make as a programmer!

Now I hope you'll manage to pull it off, seriously I do

But go to any computer book store and buy all the ASP books you can.

You'll also need to buy an ADO book and perhaps an HTML book and perhaps a CSS book and once finished reading all these books perhaps buy an IIS book!!!

Don't get me wrong vineeth_tv, I'm not trying to make fun of you, I'm serious. Programming is not something you pick up on the bus on the way to work(unless you've been working there for 4 years)


If you want this project to work, and make this financial firm proud of you then I recommend:

http://www.rentacoder.com

I wouldn't be concerned with:
Please quote the good books' name which is helpfull for fast learning

I'd be more concern loosing your credibility towards that firm!

Also, go to amazon.com search for ASP books and people RATE books there. Read the users opinion and start from there...

If you have any specific problems, people here will be glad to help I'm sure!

Hope this helps!
Sincerely

Vlince

You might also try Active Server Pages 3.0 (published by Que), especially if you already understand Visual Basic.

I'd been programming VB for a few years when I got tasked to do some web development on a project whose bid was already fixed, and we didn't have money in the budget to bring a web guy in. I picked up the book by Que and was up and running in about a week.

A few caveats:

• I already knew ADO VERY well
• I already knew HTML
• I already understood Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
• I already understood N-tier architecture

One final note: you could use Access for an internet site if you are willing and able to write DCOM and use MTS/ Com+ Services to manage your connections. MS claims that Access can handle 256 simultaneous connections. In theory, that may be true, but as a matter of practicality, 15 or 20 simultaneous connections is about all it can handle.

As a point of fact, I am about to publish a website that uses Access, but I know who my target audience is and I know what to anticipate performance-wise/traffic-wise. There are 6 people who will have the security to actually INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE data. Everybody else that hits the web site will only be getting data from the DB. I also know that this web site is NEVER going to get much traffic. It's a web site for a club swim team (kids aged 5-19). We have about 300 swimmers (125 familes). Who else is going to consistently generate traffic at this site?

If you know those kinds of things ahead of time, you might be able to get away with using Access. But as the other poster said, it isn't a good idea.

And, like Vlince said, you'd probably be better off getting someone else to do this (especially if you don't already have lots of development experience).
