Rating:  Summary: The Book for learning how to build VB IIS Applications Review: This book covers it all. I was looking for a book the thoroughly covered VB IIS Applications. I found only 2, each dedicating only 1 chapter to the subject. This book not only covers IIS Applications in detail, it also covers DHTML apps in detail as well. It also shows how to incorporate MTS, MSMQ, ADO and other technologies into your VB web apps. A highly detailed chapter on ASP, 4 well thought out case studies and appendixes including HTML Tags, VBScript and Jscript Tutorials, VBScript Reference, Configuring IIS4, ADO, MTS and MSMQ among others completes this book. An absolute MUST for any serious VB Programmer doing any kind of web development.
Rating:  Summary: Full coverage of VB6 Web capabilities Review: This book covers, in excellent fashion, the realm of possibilities in web-enabling your VB6 skills.First, I would like to clarify that VB6 DOES NOT create web applications, but you have a lot of options to allow your application, or your applications logic, to be presented via web browsers. This book shows you API's and scripting languages that can be used with Visual Basic to accomplish tasks. Anyone looking for a specific solution to a web programming project using VB, then get a specialized book for that subject, do not assume this book will cover every detail of your needs. I really enjoyed the coverage of XML becuase it is hard to find quality information about this new language. Once again, Wrox rocks the boat with a great book.
Rating:  Summary: Poorly Written Review: This book is geared towards someone new to VB. None of the chapters get into very much detail, and the examples are kept so simple as to be useless. Extremely frequent typos, spelling errors, and missing words make reading it a chore.
