This course is intended for Web site developers who want to build intranet and Internet solutions. At the end of the course, students will be able to describe the services-based application model as it applies to a Web application; use Visual InterDev to create a Web application; create Web pages that use ActiveX controls, JavaTM applets, and client-side scripting; create Active Server Pages that use ActiveX server components and server-side script; use Visual Basic 6.0 to create ActiveX server components to implement business services; access a database from a Web page by using Visual InterDev data tools, ActiveX Data Objects (ADO), and the Advanced Data Connector (ADC); use Microsoft Transaction Server to manage ActiveX server components; and use features of the Microsoft Windows NT® operating system and Internet Information Server to control access to a Web site.
