Customer Reviews

Excellent for Beginners in Web Development

It was my pleasure to review this book and I was amazed about the usefulness of the examples and how one example is worked out in all aspects. The book gives a complete overview of a feature rich product and takes the reader through it by one main example. I believe this book is very helpful for people that want to develop web applications beyond the use of Frontpage. Very recommendable book!

Excellent for a beginner with some programming experience.

I have to agree with the fact that the book is a little vague in places, however, if you are a beginning web programmer who has a little knowledge of the Microsoft development environment (Visual Studio, MS-SQL), then this is a really really good start. I have to give the book five stars when reviewing it in the context of a book for beginners. Mumford does a thorough job of explaining net programming and Visual InterDev, plus he touches on everything from T-SQL to ASP and XML. What beginner could ask for a more comprehensive glance at web development? Also, the book takes a hands-on approach, so you'll actually build a little business2consumer website solution complete w/database support. If you think you may be a candidate for this book, then there is no question - buy it. If not, buy several books concentrating solely on individual topics.

Excellent book - covers the ground

This book is an excellent guide to developing Web Applications using VI6. It covers the necessary technologies such as Javascript, VBScript, ASP, and COM with enough detail to get you up ad running. It also looks at methods of programming that will stand up to the high demand of a production web site. All in all I thoroughly recommend this book.

Found it very useful

This book treads the borderline between a beginning and intermediate text - and succeeds. It starts somewhere close to the beginning by introducing the basics of web development using the Visual Interdev environment, and progresses to explain how to use COM objects to make your site more robust and responsive. The book is a good example of the Wrox Press "Microsoft Technologies" approach, and gives a thorough understanding of not just the Visual Interdev product, but also of the many technologies used in a professional web site, namely ASP, VBScript, JavaScript, databases, and COM. I would recommend this book for anyone wanting to learn this excellent product - it is well written and does not bog you down with unnecessary detail. It is clear, precise, and to the point. The examples are well thought out, and the book delivers all that it promises. Well done Wrox - once again!

Easy to read and very informative

I was looking for a book that took me through the steps in web development using Visual Interdev 6. This book takes you clearly through the steps involved and provides lots of helpful advice on how to make the most of web development. Definitely worth getting if you are using Visual Interdev 6.
