OK as an introduction/bad as a hands-on guide 19 Mar 2002

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

If you haven't got a clue what programming against IE is about, read it. If you're looking for in-depth info (and usefull code samples on DHTML and the DOM from JavaScript or VBScript), this is not a good book: even the Visual Studio help-files are better. The chapters about HTA's are outdated, about ASP shallow, and so is the chapter about COM-components. You need other books for that. Code examples on CD are mediocre: the lines of code do something, but why and how ...??

Good, but very diverse. 23 Mar 2000

Format:Paperback

If you want to program with IE5 this book is a good start. It will make you aware of the possibilities available for a project involving IE5. The real problem with this book is that it explain what can be done in great depth but does not have a lot of information on how to use these techniques. This book is a good pointer but it is not the only book someone serious about programming with IE5 would need.

THE Book on programming for Internet Explorer 5 16 Aug 1999

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

I had the opportunity to work closely with Scott Roberts in Developer Support for Internet Explorer technologies while Internet Explorer 5 was in development. Scott was so expert in the use of the new technologies that they hired him to develop future versions. Scott's advice was essential while I was writing samples for the book. Pick up the MS Press book on XML, and along with "Programming Microsoft Internet Explorer 5," you'll have everything you need to develop mission-critical weblications using this incredible platform!

Well written and to the point.

If you want to know how to use the WebControl features of IE this is the book to get. Not only is it written clearly, and by someone that really knows his stuff, it is loaded with... Read more

Excellent treatment of WebBrowser Control.

This book goes in to the right amount of detail on the WebBrowser control and other IE5 technologies, and fills in many gaps in the docs and MSDN.
