Well, in polite terms, somewhat useful but more useless than useful in any way. To be laconic " regretful buy "

3.0 out of 5 stars A must for any BASIC programmer interested in CGI, 10 Mar 1999
By A Customer
First, I should note that using Visual Basic for a web server application is pathetic. Each instance of the application requires a minimum of 4 megs of RAM, so using it on a high-traffic site is suicidal.

That said, the book and the code in the book are very good. Ported to C, Delphi or especially PowerBASIC, you can't go wrong. The book also does a fairly good job of covering the CGI spec.

My suggestion, buy the book and go get yourself a copy of PowerBASIC so that you can create true CGI apps that take only a few K instead of megabytes.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money., 1 Feb 1999
By A Customer
The problem with this title is its proprietary language. Depending on the server you program for, why would you want to use the Authors version of the interface software. It's well written but lacks being practical.
