Product Description

Product Description
Cutting–edge software developer and leading Visual Basic columnist Carl Franklin arms you with the knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques you need to add Internet capabilities to your Windows(r) and Windows NTTM applications and to develop entire Internet utilities, components, and programs.

Featuring a series of progressively more sophisticated examples, Visual Basic 4.0 Internet Programming teaches you how to:

  • Use fundamental Internet technologies and protocols, including TCP/IP, Windows Sockets, SMTP, and HTTP
  • Build Internet client programs, including Web, USENET, E–mail, Gopher, and FTP applications
  • Create CGI scripts, forms, and "back end" Web applications
  • Construct OLE–based Internet programs and remote–access Internet database applications
  • Use next–generation Windows Internet technologies, including Microsoft′s Internet Server Application Programming Interface (ISAPI) and Internet Database Connector (IDC)

On the CD–ROM you′ll find:

  • Plug–in Visual Basic networking components
  • Customizable Internet client programs and browsers for the Web and other protocols
  • Internet database engines

From the Author
Thanks for all the great comments!
It's so nice to see all these great comments for my little slice of non-fiction.

I would like to save your readers a bit of hassle by checking out the web pages I have set up about this book at http://www.apexsc.com/vb/vbip.

There you will find a sample chapter as well as fixes for a couple glitches.

Thanks again for all the Kudos!

Carl

2.0 out of 5 stars a waste of money, 12 Jul 1999
By A Customer

2.0 out of 5 stars Well written but....., 4 Aug 1998
By A Customer
Sorry, I must disagree. Yes this book was well written, and yes the program samples were nicely layed out, but the whole scheme was not a practicle learning tool. The majority of the internet protocols were handled by the demo ocx called dssock32.ocx. I did not see any code of this ocx, well perhpas bits and chunks but nothing that could be of use. This book showed how to become reliant on someone elses hard work without giving you, the programmer, the ability to create your own internet applications. I would suggest this book to everyone if they are looking for a well written book that lacks in practicalities in the programming world.

4.0 out of 5 stars good book, 28 Jun 1998
By A Customer
Good book! why? because: 1. It does not have a bunch of garbage about internet history or theoretical background. 2. Very enjoyable and have good humor. 3. Now I know and I can use: Gopher,UseNet,e-mail, FTP, and WWW. 4. I haven't got to chp 7 yet. A bit dense here. OverAll: good and have good web site too.
