1.0 out of 5 stars Yet another "VB6" ripoff!, May 5, 1999

This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself Internet Programming with Visual Basic in 21 Days (Paperback)

Arrgh! When is an ethical author going to actually describe the very significant new Web-related features of VB6 rather than doing a sloppy and minimal update of VB5 info? This book and Carl Franklin's effort are absolute ripoffs that do not deserve to be rewarded with your money! Instead, save it and reward the author(s) who will hopefully provide the first real publication that deals with DHTML, WebClasses, and the other pieces that distinguish VB6 from it's past versions. Please!!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book provided all the info I wanted it to provide, October 30, 1999

This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself Internet Programming with Visual Basic in 21 Days (Paperback)

The book provided the answers both as a tutorial and a reference book to get me up and on the right track with web classes, ASP etc. It gives everything it says it will give and is easy to read considering the ground its covering.

This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself Internet Programming with Visual Basic in 21 Days (Paperback)

Check out Wayne S. Freeze's hands on SQL Server 7 with VB6 book. It covers pretty well on ASP, WebClasses, and DHTML, Pluse excellent example of how to get SQL Server and VB together
