1.0 out of 5 stars Major problems with all aspects of this book., June 15, 1997

By A Customer

This book contains too many errors and misrepresentations to be of use to beginning or experienced programmers. As an Instructor I attempted to use this book in a Visual Basic Internet programming class and it was a complete failure. This book is based on a beta copy of the Microsoft Internet Control Pack (ICP), which has been subsequently dropped by Microsoft. The ICP was full of bugs and incomplete code. The same can be said of the author's coverage and bundled code. For example, one of the author's sample VB programs had a path "d:\book\vbcode" hard coded in a sample program. The author's code could not be compiled. There were numerous errors with the text, the code, and other aspects of the book. The only thing of value in this book was some of the theoretical coverage of common Internet protocols such as FTP, NNTP, and SMTP/POP3. Unless you need to learn the old Microsoft Internet Control Package you should not buy this book
