ASP Learning

I use Dreamweaver to develop ASP sites and am reaching a point where
yes it is helpful but I want to know more.  I would like to dive in a
hand code things one of these days and was wondering if anyone out
there has any good references as to where I could learn the language
from the ground up.  I figured I'd ask the professionals out there so
I can learn from a good reputable source, this way I can learn the
right way.

Thanks in advance!

Hmmm.  I would hardly categorise that site as necessarily a good example of
the "right way".  It uses ODBC to connect to Access, concatenates variables
directly into Sql statements without any validation, uses recordset objects
for inserting and updating, includes examples of using CDONTS, and their
example sites are susceptible to SQL injection - just to name a few faults.

To Mangler - classic ASP hasn't been developed since around 2000, so there
are limited new sources of information.  Even some of the samples on MSDN
have failed to keep up with deprecation.  Frankly, the best sources of good
practice are here in this news group, and www.aspfaq.com.
