ActiveX topics including HTML, VBScript, Java Script, CGI, ISAPI, WinSock, WinInet, ActiveX Conferencing, ActiveX Controls (Download, Install, Properties, Interaction, Creation). The coolest thing about this book is that is covers almost all the areas with VBScript and Java Script. The first week is a ramp up for some of the background such as HTML and Scripting. The first week also includes a great chapter on some of the tools that make ActiveX programming. This first week also covers the HTML ActiveX control used in the Microsoft Internet Explorer (their browser). The second week covers some of the more powerful Microsoft API sets that work with the Internet. The chapters on WinSock and WinInet are very powerful and should be read by everyone. This is the week that covers protocols and underlying architecture for the internet - a must for everyone. The third week covers every aspect of ActiveX controls from writing the control to how to write the HTML code to properly download the control to the client's machine. Several good examples are discussed in each chapter so that you have a good understanding of the issues.
