1.0 out of 5 stars
You'll have to look hard to find anything of value..., August 2, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Official Netscape Livewire Book: Designing, Implement & Maintain Your Internet/Intranet Site (Paperback)
Somewhere buried in the text is a discussion of developing LiveWire applications, but I had a hard time finding it as I waded through all the fluff!
In fact out of this entire book, only 3 chapters deal with LiveWire development and the LiveWire extensions directly. These chapters are:
Ch. 8. Using Server-side JavaScript (a quick overview)
Ch. 9. Writing LiveWire Applications With JavaScript (the basics of writing appliations)
Ch. 10. Writing Database Applications (the database example from the LiveWire documentation)
The rest of the chapters deal with Navigator Gold, Netscape Plug-ins, and lots of other stuff designed to inflate the book. Heck, there's an entire chapter that tries to justify why to use LiveWire. There's an entire chapter on installing LiveWire. There's an entire chapters that drones on and on about the LiveWire tools, which each have there own chapter anyway. There's so much talk that the real discussion is lost.
