Inside Front Cover


Web Programming with Visual Basic will show you through new examples how to code applications specifically for the Internet. You will learn how to deal with HTTP servers, CGI interfaces, and security issues.

Among the applications you will see built in this book are QuoteWatcher (Chapter 12), an interactive web agent that queries on-line sites for specific information and delivers it to the user in concise database format.

QuoteWatcher: Get custom information from on-line resources.

And, if you’ve ever been frustrated by finding "we’ve moved" web sites, then you’ll certainly appreciate LinkChecker (Chapter 14), a spider that looks for changed site addresses and reports back to you.

LinkChecker: How to build a spider.
