Practical Applicability to Solve Real World Problems

Dan's book helps tackle some real world issues in the fast paced web application development field. His style is specific to the examples at hand but also general enought that you can use the techniques to solve other problems. This book deals with the practical issues that developers deal with every day and not the 'extras' that come with Interdev. (Image composer, music generator..etc).

Very Good

I found this book very helpfull. The style of using axample projects was far more usefull than several other Visual InterDev books I have read. The inclusion of a shopping cart system would have changed my rating to a 10.

Good bk to quickly introduce the product w/o a lot of detls

I'm probably the only one who has made a positive comment on this book. This book starts off by giving you a high-level and some details of the Web Site Evolution (if you already know this, then you'd be bored). This book assumes that you have a fully functioning copy of Visual InterDev. To successfully build 3 of the applications you will need a copy or access to SQL Server. The explanations and step-by-steps in Chptrs 2 and 3 were well done and easy to understand. All the exercises in Chptr 3 worked. Can't comment on the building of any applications in the book because I haven't started on those exercises. However, I did use the same steps in Chptr 3 to 'Create a Web Project', 'Associate a Database with the Project', building a form using the Form Wizard on an existing Access database and it worked first time. I also applied a GridData ActiveX Control in design-time against this database connection and it also worked successfully using the same steps written in the book. It's a good book to get you up to speed with a begining to intermediate-level of the Visual InterDev product, however, you will need other reference books to help you go beyond this.
