A good introduction to VB5 Internet controls

This book presents a few well-chosen Internet programming situations and then shows how to write VB5 solutions that require very little programming effort. If you already know VB5 and want to know how to write programs that communicate with Internet servers, this is an excellent place to find out.The exercises will show you how to build programs that act as web browsers, FTP clients and e-mail clients. It also explains ActiveX controls and ActiveX documents, how the encryption and security features of HTML work, and how to write VBScript programs that work with Internet Explorer.Although it is a 500+ page book, much of the space is given to showing the Visual Basic code that is generated by the development Wizards. This adds a lot of pages to the chapters, but since the code is not explained in any detail, the extra pages are not that illuminating.The book clearly and patiently explains how powerful a tool VB5 is for Internet programming and how to crank out useable and useful programs in record time
