Re: FN-FORUM beginning with databases

If you want to have a bash at ASP with simple (Access) databases now, a
group of us are doing a sort of self support study course based on John
Kauffman's book ASP databases. If you're interested, go to
www.yahoogroups.com and sign up to ASPDatabases. We aim to start work on
Monday. Some of the people in the group are experienced developers so
they should be able to help the rest of us out. It's free apart from
buying your own book as it's just a yahoo group.
