With easy-to-follow tutorials, ready-to-use HTML templates, and loads of working samples, this book meets the needs of both segments in a burgeoning market -- Web developers proficient with HTML but not with television production, and television professionals needing to better understand, envision, and initiate enhanced TV projects. "Interactive TV in Action" describes a variety of design techniques and methods to readily adapt existing broadcast and Web material for interactive television and WebTV "RM". By using Microsoft's WebTV Plus and Web TV for Microsoft "RM" Windows "RM" 98 technologies, and following design standards outlined by the Advanced Television Enhancement Forum Specification (ATVEF), readers learn how to integrate HTML content into television to transform traditionally passive TV viewing into a richer, more engaging, self-directed experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent, the most clearly written e-commerce book out,
By A Customer
This review is from: Building Interactive Entertainment and E-Commerce Content for Microsoft TV (IT-Independent) (Paperback)
Finally, a book on coding e-commerce applications that makes sense. I bought this book because I expect the combination of TV with the Internet to be the next really big thing and I did not want to miss it. The pleasant surprise was that this book helps in all sorts of Internet commerce development, not just interactive television. After slogging through other bit buckets it sure is nice to find a book that clearly explains not just e-commerce on TV but good web interface design in general. After reading this book I'm even able to make forms read and write to a database backend. If you are an intermediate or better HTML developer do your career a favor and buy this book.
