Great InterDev, ASP, COM Book!

A great book for experienced developers who need to know how to build effective and robust Web applications. Excellent coverage of the VI IDE, DTCs, debugging and COM component creation and deployment. As you'd expect from the Wrox Professional series it doesn't waste time trying to teach you basic programming and Web fundamentals. Highly recommended.

Great in-depth coverage!

This book goes further than any other VI book I have read. It assumes an understanding of VI so it is definately not for beginners, but if like me you want to get the most out of the product then it's spot on. At last I understand how the Design Time Controls and the Scripting Object Model actually work and can make use of them in an effecient manner to build my applications quickly. Highly Recommended!

Explains tools inside and out

A terrific resource for anyone who has already done some web development and really wants to get down and dirty with Visual InterDev. Great job explaining the new "visual" way to deal with data objects -- recordsets and DTCs -- for those of us who've done it by hand for years. I especially appreciate the explanations not just of *what* you can do, but *why* you would want to do it, and how it's different from the way you *used* to do it. Good blend of top-level overview of tools and strategy plus an under-the-hood look at the details of things like SOM recordset events.

Good coverage of Visual InterDev and related technologies

I thought this was a good coverage of the key areas involved with creating ASP based web applications. The coverage goes well beyond Visual InterDev basics and gets into XML, Script Components and database fundamentals from a Visual InterDev perspective. The topics all seem to assume no prior knowledge, cover the basics quickly, and more into useful code and examples. Coverage of Design Time Controls (DTC's) was very good, and is one of the core features of VI. I think its a useful book and would recommend it.

Great Inter-Dev book!

If you have any existing web skills and want to leverage them into an Inter-Dev environment, then this is the book for you. Good coverage of ActiveX, COM, and design-time controls. Recommended!!
