ADO and related Books

Editor's Pick - ADO 2.1 Programmer's Reference
Dave Sussman

This book is a great reference for anyone developing in ASP, Visual Basic and other Microsoft development tools. ADO has become very popular over years and is expected to be the de facto standard to access databases. This book is a revision of the earlier edition - ADO 2, which Dave Sussman cowrote with Alex Homer.

The book is very handy and covers everything there is to know about ADO is a concise but precise manner.

Editor's Pick - Professional ADO RDS programming with ASP
Matt Brown, Charles Caison, John Papa, Peter DeBetta, Eric Wilson

This book is impressive. So good that we dedicated a whole page at our "In-Depth" section.

Building Distributed Applications With ADO
William Martiner, James Falino, David Herion

For the first time we have a book on ADO that focuses on distributed application development. The book talks about ADO object structure and also touches upon the ADOX (ADO eXtensions) objects.

The book discusses using ADO with ASP, relational databases and also non-relational data sources like MS Index Server.
