There are too many important facets to the language of the World Wide Web to say that any one is the most important. That language is called HTML. In the years since its inception, the HTML specification has been fairly dynamic. So far, each feature added to the standard has made HTML better. Succeeding specifications make pages more attractive, more informative, and richer in content-so much so that Web pages are quickly becoming the interface of choice for retrieving information from computer screens.

Well received the September UK Game industry show. Recent publicity includes a mention in Visual Basic Design Magazine, June issue.

With Subclassing and the Windows hooking mechanism ("hooks"), you can manipulate, modify, or even discard messages bound for other objects within the operating system, in the process changing the way in which the system behaves. Along with this power comes responsibility; Windows is very unforgiving if subclassing and hooking techniques are used incorrectly. Subclassing & Hooking with Visual Basic demonstrates how to use the various techniques that deal with the interception of messages bound for one or more windows or controls: you can leave the intercepted message in its original state or modify it; afterwards, you can send the message to its original destination or discard it. For both VB 6 and VB.NET developers, this book opens up a wealth of possibilities that ordinarily would be completely unavailable, or at least not easy to implement.

Computers and devices are more connected now than ever before. Why? Because the humans who use those computers need to collaborate. We need to share information, and we need to do it quickly, without regard to the physical distance that separates us. Corporate solution developers now more than ever have the opportunity and responsibility to enable people to communicate in ways never before possible. CDO and MAPI Programming with Visual Basic: Developing Mail and Messaging Applications dives deep into Microsoft's Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) and the Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI), then moves into succinct explanations of the types of useful messaging applications that can be written in Visual Basic.

Эта книга представляет новый подход, согласно которому весь диапазон задач измерения, управления и регулирования реализуется средствами популярного программного пакета Microsoft Office. Хотя это звучит необычно, с помощью приложений Word и Excel можно получить прямой доступ к аппаратному обеспечению, что делает их универсальными и простыми в использовании инструментами.

Scott and his team members develop samples and articles on XML Web Services covering the coding as well as the architectural issues developers encounter. Softcover.

If you're an experienced Office user who wants to use XML to unlock data, or one of the many IT professionals who wants to learn about XML implementation in Office 2003, then this is the ideal book for you! No prior XML or programming experience is necessary. (But optional code snippets and downloadable examples help illustrate the advanced tips, tricks, and techniques in the book.)
Popular author Matthew MacDonald introduces you to XML standards, like schemas, XPath, and XML transforms. Then he explains the philosophy of XML, and shows you how to transform data in the Enterprise using XML technology. This book will enable you to maximize the tools already within your reach.
You'll learn to feed an Excel purchase order into an XML inventory management system. Or you can create a Word document that contains a newspaper article and “reads” information about resume candidates, then generates a new summary documentwithout even installing Office. The document revolution has now begun!

When Microsoft introduced the Visual Basic .NET programming language, as part of its move to the .NET Framework two years ago, many developers willingly made the switch. Millions of others, however, continued to stick with Visual Basic 6. They weren't ready for such a radical change, which included an object-oriented environment similar to Java. They liked the old Visual Basic just fine.
In an effort to win over those diehard VB6 developers, the company has included a new version of VB.NET in its upcoming next generation release of the Visual Studio .NET development platform. Visual Basic 2005 comes with innovative language constructs, new compiler features, dramatically enhanced productivity and an improved debugging experience. The language's new version is now available in beta release, and Microsoft is encouraging developers to give it a test drive.
