Product Description

Product Description
The latest version of the popular progamming tool allows programmers to bring Visual Basic to the Web.

With the new release of Microsoft Web development tools, including Visual Basic 5.0, programmers can leverage their existing skills as they bring the advantages of Visual Basic to their Web sites. This book is a guide for experienced Visual Basic programmers, who are both new and experienced with the Internet, to developing Web applications with Microsoft′s new suite of tools. Web Site provides actively maintained software demos and sourcecode contained in the book.

From the Back Cover
A complete Visual Basic programmer′s guide to creating sophisticated Web and intranet applications.

With the release of Visual Basic 5 and Visual InterDev, Visual Basic programmers have powerful new tools for developing Web applications. In this book, expert Bill Martiner shows Visual Basic programmers how to leverage their programming skills to develop sophisticated, full–featured applications for the Web and corporate intranets.

Martiner begins by introducing how the new tools were designed to ease your way onto the Web through the use of familiar design environments, data access objects, the Visual Basic syntax, and new features added to Visual Basic itself. He then launches into detailed, practical discussions of each tool and the way that it can be used to create sophisticated Web–based applications. Throughout, he provides lots of code examples and finally develops an actual Web application that pulls together all of the skills and techniques described.

You′ll learn how to:

  • Design Web interfaces with HTML
  • Use VBScript to activate your client′s browser
  • Use VB5 to create ActiveX controls
  • Port your Visual Basic applications to the Internet using Visual Basic 5 Document Objects
  • Use Active Server Scripting (ASP) to create high–powered, server–based Web applications
  • Add a database to your Web site using the Internet ODBC Database Connector (IDC)
  • Fully exploit the powerful data access features of Active Data Objects (ADO) to create robust database applications for the Web.

About the Web site

When you visit the companion Web site at www.wiley.com/compbooks/martiner, you′ll find numerous demos that will be a source of ideas, inspiration, and reference. You also get all the source code contained in the book, which you can download and use to develop your own applications.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good coverage of older stuff, 12 Feb 1999
By A Customer
Although this book covers its subject area well, the technologies discussed are now out-moded. For example, it covers ADO 1.0 (now v2.1), Visual Basic 5 (now v6) and Visual InterDev 1.0 (now v2) in depth. MS has moved so fast into this area that most of what is discussed shows its age.

Obviously, this book was written just as MS was entering the Web Development arena. -The MS toolset has come a long way since then.

In summary, I disagree with the previous review in that I feel that the book still can be helpful (especially in the area of ADO- the interfaces haven't changed that much), but I agree that some of what is discussed is rather primitive in hindsight.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dave Herion, Micro Endeavors, Review of VB Developers Guide, 17 Sep 1997
By A Customer
Martiner takes a no nonsense approach at explaining the real issues in internet/intranet web development. He tackles many of the pertinent subjects ASP / ADO UserDocs / ActivexControls and the like, giving practical information to solve real-world issues. This book is not only great reference material, but also a great read from cover to cover.
