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!!

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.

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

This book talks lots of basic content about internet ! If you want to write internet applications , you should learn the use of DHTML and ASP, which I think is the most important. However, this book focuses on the use of DHTML within Visual Basic 6. I think it's better to reference other books containing the use of WebClass within VB6 after you read this book.

The previous reviewer has said that this book covers webclasses well. WHAT?????!!??? I read this book cover to cover and webclasses are note covered in this book at all!! Other than that, it's not a bad intro to web programming. This book is a good 1st step for a VB6/web developer.

Seems like this is a VB5 book with limited coverage of DHTML. One of the most important features in VB6 is webclasses, and they are not mentioned at all, not even in the index. A bit disappointing.

This book has tought me exactly what was needed to put together my VBDevNet.com web site... Web Classes were especially good and fast paced !

I would recommend it to all of my customers !

This book covers a wide range of topics but the author never explains his code. The book shows you how to wite a search engine program, the program is several pages long. But the author never explains his logic or how the program works.
