Deploying Interactive Applications on the Internet (Mar 1996)
New! 3/12
The advent of the World Wide Web has made the Internet an accessible and practical network for deploying distributed applications. However, the prospect of building and deploying a Web-based application may seem daunting, given the broad range of tools currently available and new tools emerging at a rapid pace. This paper outlines the advantages of Web-based applications and introduces some of the important new technologies for the Web, including the latest developments in Web server APIs and visual development tools.Machine Head Botworks Sample
This sample provides a fully functioning, order-entry Web site for a fictitious company called Machine Head Botworks. The site was designed to provide corporate developers with a solid foundation upon which to base their own Web sites. The sample uses the new Internet database connector (HTTPODBC.DLL) to demonstrate how to build a database-enabled site linking to either Microsoft Access 95 JET 3.0 MDB or SQL Server 6.0 back ends. The site demonstrates how users can manage access to data and files and shows how a table-driven structure can be much easier to maintain than current, more traditional models. The sample will be demonstrated at the Microsoft Professional Developers Conference and posted on this site soon after the conference.

Maintaining large Web sites that consist of tens of thousands of pages is not simply a matter of writing HTML syntax--it is a large-scale management and coordination task. This paper outlines a process that utilizes Visual SourceSafe's content management, sharing, keyword embedding, and shadow directory capabilities to automate and securely track the many changes that occur within a Web site.Visual FoxPro WWW Search Page Wizard
