Product Description

Amazon Review

If you'd said a couple of years ago that someone would develop a WYSIWIG-based Web programming environment for the Internet, they might have been forgiven for thinking you were crazy. But lo and behold, Microsoft's Visual Interdev arrives on the scene with its Windows- style interface and advanced scripting features and stuns HTML coders the world over.

Success, of course, comes at a price. This is by no means an easy language to master, and that's where Professional Visual Interdev 6 Programming comes in. It starts with the easy stuff, opening with a comprehensive tour of the interface before exploring areas such as debugging and integrating databases with Web sites. Complex functions for the real power users such as Design Time Controls are well explained with an assortment of nicely chosen and comprehensive examples.

It's particularly worthwhile to look at Chapter 12's case study of how to build and operate a Web search engine using COM components. The guidelines given can be easily scaled up to provide multiple-field searching of thousands of records with very little slow down--perfect for sites with large volumes of data and Web traffic. #

Professional Visual Interdev 6 Programming is a welcome addition to Wrox's "Programmer to Programmer" range and should prove invaluable to wannabe--though not beginner-- developers. --Steve Russell

Synopsis

This text begins by introducing Visual InterDev as a development environment aimed at the professional web developer. It shows how existing knowledge of HTML, ASP and scripting can be combined with Visual InterDev features to enable developers to create complex applications, integrate databases and maintain a consistent structure and appearance for a site. It also describes how Visual InterDev can be used to support teams working on large projects and contains extensive coverage of how to use the script debugging features. The book then moves out to cover important aspects of how to effectively use Visual InterDev in rapid web application development by describing how to create design-time controls (ActiveX controls used at design time to build script that is executed at run time), COM components and Windows Script components. A demonstration of how Visual InterDev can be used within an n-tier development environment is achieved by presenting two case studies based on commercial situations. Finally the book introduces the technology areas of XML and XSL, something that all serious web developers could soon find themselves needing to know.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good coverage of Visual InterDev and related technologies 22 Oct 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I thought this was a good coverage of the key areas involved with creating ASP based web applications. The coverage goes well beyond Visual InterDev basics and gets into XML, Script Components and database fundamentals from a Visual InterDev perspective. The topics all seem to assume no prior knowledge, cover the basics quickly, and more into useful code and examples. Coverage of Design Time Controls (DTC's) was very good, and is one of the core features of VI. I think its a useful book and would recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Explains tools inside and out 3 Nov 1999
By "ewp2000" - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
A terrific resource for anyone who has already done some web development and really wants to get down and dirty with Visual InterDev. Great job explaining the new "visual" way to deal with data objects -- recordsets and DTCs -- for those of us who've done it by hand for years. I especially appreciate the explanations not just of *what* you can do, but *why* you would want to do it, and how it's different from the way you *used* to do it. Good blend of top-level overview of tools and strategy plus an under-the-hood look at the details of things like SOM recordset events.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Up To Wrox Standards 11 Jan 2000
By Mark Wienstein - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I feel betrayed by the fact that the author has resorted to asking his brit colleagues to write favorable reviews for such a medicore book.

Someone at Wrox should investigate this.

But I guess it's a cheap way to boost sales.

I feel strongly about warning you not to waste money on this text. I have spoken with many teaching professionals and all Agree this book is not up to WROX standards in anyway. It is written poorly and will only confuse you about a superb product.

Ian is banking on the red Wrox label to cover up a very poor product. Wrox should either give him the opportunity to completely re-thing and re-write the book or hand it over to a pro like John Kaufman "ASP DATABASES".

Anyway, please, please, review a few pages of this book before buying and then draw your own conclusion.
