About this title

Synopsis

An introduction to the Internet capabilities of Visual Basic offers descriptions, examples, and techniques for using the programming language

Review

Internet Programming with Visual Basic 5 focuses on the creation of Internet clients and Web pages using Visual Basic (VB) and VBScript. You'll learn to build a simple Web browser using Internet Explorer 3.0 as the core control, FTP and HTTP applications for downloading text and binary data, and an e-mail application for handling Internet mail. You'll also learn how to create ActiveX controls and ActiveX documents that can be embedded in a Web page, and find out how to distribute them via the Internet. Three chapters on VBScript introduce Microsoft's browser scripting language.

The author assumes that you know something about VB programming although he does provide a quick review and an introduction to basic HTML concepts. Overall, this book is a real smorgasbord of client-side techniques. It is best suited for someone who wants to get a taste of the available possibilities rather than dig deeply into any single area. The FTP, HTTP, and e-mail sections, arguably the strongest parts of this book, will enable you to build your own custom applications. The bundled CD-ROM includes all sample projects from the book.
