The serious guide to VB6 multi-tier and Web development

With Microsoft's Visual Basic¨ 6 release, VB has come of age as an enterprise component development platform. If you're an experienced VB programmer, this book is all you need to leverage VB's new capabilities in business-critical multi-tier and Web application development.

Other books cover aspects of distributed development with VB, but none are this comprehensive. Leading consultant Jim Maloney covers the waterfront: VB objects, COM, DCOM, networking, MTS, deployment, troubleshooting, and beyond. Understand multi-tier application architectures from the VB programmer's point of view; then master all these key skills:

• Developing advanced Win32¨ applications using COM objects
• ActiveX Data Objects, class objects, ActiveX Controls, and COM internals
• Leveraging AutomationÑand adding Automation interfaces to your own applications
• Making the most of Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS)
• Embedding Internet transfer and Web browser capabilities in your applications
• Using ActiveX documents for intranet development
• Distributed application debugging and maintenance techniques that really work

Maloney presents authoritative comparisons of every Microsoft option for Web development; hard-to-find information on binary compatibility; a practical overview of ASP; and much more. If you're ready to build state-of-the-art VB software for the enterprise, you're ready for Distributed COM Application Development Using Visual Basic 6.0.
