Lesson 4: Developing Network Applications

Developers can create network-based applications by using a number of different interfaces. Depending on the complexity of your application, you can use the lowest level interface, the Windows Sockets API, or a specially designed ActiveX control that is specific to the functionality the program requires, such as the Web Browser control. This lesson describes the Microsoft interfaces that can be used to create network-based applications.
