Overview

A tutorial for novices and a reference for experienced users, featuring step-by-step guidelines for using Web Connection in a day-to-day manner as a developer, this book offers several development alternatives based on the users style. Demonstrated are the building of two different applications, one easy, and one more complex and nearly two-dozen trouble-shooting steps in case of problems. Also explained is the infrastructure of the Internet and, specifically, Web applications. Once developers are comfortable building and deploying an application they are then shown how to take advantage of more complex framework features such as File-based versus COM configuration, extending the framework, data entry using object oriented techniques, and asynchronous applications.
