And finally, you'll dive into the world of the Internt in Section III to explore the possibilities of using your iSeries or AS/400 as you develop Web pages, implement e-mail, and even use ActiveX Data Objects to develop applications in Visual Basic. This book will add a whole new set of weapons to your iSeries development arsenal.
