Summary: Good introduction to the web via VB WebClasses
Comment: This book introduces the Visual Basic developer to the world of the Web primarily via the use of WebClasses.
The book provides a concise introduction to WebClasses, IIS, MTS, ASP, ADO, Component-based development, state management, and browser independence. Plenty of relevant coding examples are provided.
The chapter of State Management is probably the best chapter, it discusses the various options available for the very real problems of scalability and maintaining state.
If you're a VB developer that has little knowledge of the web, then this book is a good introduction, it is aimed at the intermediate-level VB developer.
It might be questionable if there a need for a book on WebClasses. WebClasses are, in essence, complied ASP. A very good concept, but if job numbers are a reliable indicator then stick with ASP.
A easy, enjoyable read.

Summary: Excellent book - well worth the price
Comment: I found the book to be full of real-world, useful examples. I enjoyed the author's writing style. Seemed to be VERY up to date, including work-arounds for several things I noticed in on-line newsgroups just recently. Helped me decide is was feasible to write many of my web-based apps using VB now. Could be a little bigger, but still a great buy. I would also recommend chapters 12-14 in book ISBN 1-861002-22-X - the only other book to cover webclasses well.

Summary: Waste of perfectly good paper
Comment: This is absolutely the most useless tech manual I have ever purchased. They didn't even get the index correct, it must be referring to another manual.
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!
