2.0 out of 5 stars Best for Intranet Only, June 4, 1999

By A Customer

This book focused on ActiveX and lots of client-side, Micrososft-specific features. If you're a web programmer, you are going to alienate a great deal of non-MSIE users. The book did have pretty good information, with lots of details, though. Be careful, it requires Visual C++ 5.0 and Active X Control Pad.
