5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you ever wanted to know but were afraid to ask..., March 24, 1998

This review is from: Teach Yourself Activex Programming in 21 Days (Teach Yourself Series) (Paperback)

Very helpful and comprehensive tome that takes the web object neophyte all the way to ActiveX Wizard. Earns the full four @'s from this reader/programmer wannabe.

There is quite possibly more information here on Microsoft's ActiveX technology than any one person can absorb, but just a little is enough to add all manner of flash and dazzle to anyone's website ...in something less than 21 days :-)

1.0 out of 5 stars One-Word Review: "Useless", November 2, 2001

This review is from: Teach Yourself Activex Programming in 21 Days (Teach Yourself Series) (Paperback)

Multi-word Review: The Authors dance around the issue of actually programming an ActiveX control and only present a "tutorial" on how to use ActiveX in an HTML document. In light of the functionality in FrontPage and InterDev to drag-n-drop controls into an HTML document, this book is useless!!
