From the Author

The most comprehensive VB web programming book out there...
CGI programming has been around for quite a while now. Until now, writing applications with CGI required the use of languages such as C++ or PERL. The ability to write CGI applications with Visual Basic allows the Visual Basic programmer to enter into a new arena- the thin client.

The book is full of sample code, including: a complete shopping bag application, a search engine and much more.
