3.0 out of 5 stars
Good coverage of older stuff, February 11, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Visual Basic Programmer's Guide to Web Development (Paperback)
Although this book covers its subject area well, the technologies discussed are now out-moded. For example, it covers ADO 1.0 (now v2.1), Visual Basic 5 (now v6) and Visual InterDev 1.0 (now v2) in depth. MS has moved so fast into this area that most of what is discussed shows its age.
Obviously, this book was written just as MS was entering the Web Development arena. -The MS toolset has come a long way since then.
I feel that the book still can be helpful (especially in the area of ADO- the interfaces haven't changed that much), but I agree that some of what is discussed is rather primitive in hindsight.

Dave Herion, Micro Endeavors, Review of VB Developers Guide, September 17, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Visual Basic Programmer's Guide to Web Development (Paperback)
Martiner takes a no nonsense approach at explaining the real issues in internet/intranet web development. He tackles many of the pertinent subjects ASP / ADO UserDocs / ActivexControls and the like, giving practical information to solve real-world issues. This book is not only great reference material, but also a great read from cover to cover
