2.0 out of 5 stars Reads like the Netscape Plug-in docs..., June 29, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Programming Netscape Plug-Ins (Paperback)

Provides an overview of plug-in programming that may get you started but won't really help if you've already read the Netscape's own plug-in documentation.

You will find a much better look at plug-in programming in the Netscape ONE Developer's Guide which provide totally great coverage of many different Netscape technologies. The plug-in references are referenced for Netscape Navigator 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 (Programming Netscape Plug-ins doesn't cover 4.0 and only covers 3.0 BETA). In Netscape ONE Developer's Guide, you will also find excellent chapters on connect Java and plug-ins with LiveConnect (something Programming Netscape Plug-ins doesn't discuss very well at all)
