Greetings Fellow VB Addicts:

I've been takin' classes and messing around with VB6.0 for about a year now. I'm pretty comfortable with the language.

More than anything I want to use VB on the web. I know that VBScripts are only good on IE but that is fine with me.

Here is what I need:
1) I'd like a good hard copy book on writing VBScripts for the web. I'm assuming you can just pop open a regular text editor and do straight HTML? That is how I work.

2) I'd like to have a msgboard on my web page. Are there "freeware" versions of VBScript msgboards out there? Can one be uploaded to my ATT@home server and used off from that? Where do I need to start to get my own msgboard up?
I know there are free services out there I could link my page to, but I HATE banner ads. =D

So what I'd like is any resources/free ware that would get me from a plain website to one that uses VBScript to implement msgboards and buttons and that fun stuff.

thanks

One good recommendation is a book called "The Comprehensive Guide to VBScript". ISBN: 1-56604-470-7

It also covers ActiveX!

If your gonna learn VBScript you might aswell learn ASP's with it. ASP's are executed on the web server and should'nt make any difference to the browser your viewer uses.

As far as text books go I recommend the ASP Bible, it dont make for good bed time reading but it covers everything you'll need to know.
