Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Visual InterDev 6 Unleashed provides an almost invaluable field guide to using Visual InterDev 6.0 in the real world. With its mix of short, useful case studies and expert programming tips, this practical guide can let the working Web developer take full advantage of today's VI for projects.

Most computing books claim to use real programming examples, but in the case of Visual InterDev 6 Unleashed, its focus on real- world Web development makes all the difference. First, the book pulls no punches when it comes to determining what niches Visual InterDev fills, with recommendations pointed at sticking to HTML or DHMTL and generally skipping Internet Explorer-specific solutions.

The book opens with a great tour of what cross-browser compatibility really means. There's full coverage of web applications done "the Microsoft way" on the server side with good coverage of database programming (with ADO, DTC's and SQL Server) as well as the latest in business objects done in Visual Basic and MTS. Yet the focus of cross- browser compatibility means that your ASP web applications created with VI will run on most of today's Web browsers. The book's advice and tips on deploying Web pages (and particularly business objects) can save you hours of frustration.

Short, effective case studies are the rule here. These are neither just demo-ware nor overly complex examples of entire Web sites. Instead, focussed examples on such crucial topics as Web registration, cookies, security and even basic e-commerce (with an online catalogue and shopping basket) are included here. In short, Visual InterDev 6 Unleashed provides an excellent guide to essential Microsoft Web technologies with a real-world eye for problems to avoid and overcome. Provided you know the basics of HTML and ASP already, this book can let you get a lot more out of Visual InterDev and the Microsoft Web platform for real-world development. --Richard Dragan, amazon.com

Topics covered: Introduction to Visual InterDev 6.0, JavaScript/VBScript basics, DHMTL and CSS, transition and filter effects, Scripting Object Model (SOM), debugging, team development, deployment, security with NT, firewalls and digital certificates, Microsoft Universal Data Access (UDA) and ADO 2.x, SQL Server and TSQL, Design-Time Controls (DTC), Web database programming, personalisation and cookies, Visual Basic components using MTS, e-mail and Collaboration Data Object (CDONTS), index server, online catalogue and e-commerce basics.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's ok, but not for beginners, 20 Mar 2002
Having just started with Interdev6 I knew perhaps this book was not right for me, although I did expect more in the way of step by step examples. The approach taken is more theoretical than practical. If you are familiar with Interdev6 and the coding required and do not prefer to be guided through examples, then you may find this book useful, otherwise invest your money elsewhere. Having said that, I am not returning the book but will keep it for future reference. I will, however, need to purchase another reference to cover the more basic concepts of Interdev6.

3.0 out of 5 stars Beware not for beginners......., 14 Mar 2000
By A Customer
Although I have a comprehensive background working with VB6, it meant nothing when it comes to Visual InterDev 6. Beware, this book is not for beginners. Look elsewhere. Paul Thurrott, et al, do a good job of explaining the many varied and exasperating complexities of VI 6, but assume you've been using Version One and therefore have a good understanding of what they're talking about. Fine if you do. If you don't you might just as well whistle dixie, because it's meaningless. Don't make the same mistake as I did. Start off with a "Beginning" book first. Finally, the examples don't work (what's new) and when I went to the web site, (guess what) it was down. Having said that, I'd rather keep the book than send it back, so I'm hoping it will be money well spent eventually.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disjointed and confusing, 24 Aug 1999
By A Customer
I had high expectations for this book since it had a 5 star rating from the previous 7 readers which is why I ordered it. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. Although the book does touch on many important topics, it is very disjointed and there is no kind of flow for the content. The explanations for the source code consist of "Paste in this code and everything will work fine" which is a far cry from explaining what is happening in the code block. You can tell that this book is the combined result of many different authors with no major flow between the chapters. I bought the book hoping for an in-depth review of Visual InterDev and what I got was a superficial review some of the features. I am sorely disappointed.
