Application Server for Visual Basic provides a complete solution for developing and deploying existing Visual Basic applications as browser-based Web applications. The Application Server for Visual Basic can be used for: creating new Web based applications in Visual Basic\; converting existing Visual Basic applications for use on the Web\; and quickly prototyping Web applications in Visual Basic. It allows Visual Basic developers to write one Visual Basic application that can be used in existing two-tier and newer three-tier web environments. It also allows developers to continue using the Visual Basic Forms Designer, Compiler, Debugger and third party tools. Application Server for Visual Basic eliminates the need for Visual Basic developers to learn HTML, Java or new development paradigms in order to develop browser-based Web applications. Features of Application Server for Visual Basic include: a small Java client, which can be downloaded to the browser each time it is used, so no software needs to be installed on user desktops\; provides browser users with the same high quality user interface they are used to with Visual Basic applications\; and it provides a solution for deploying Visual Basic applications to Macintosh and Unix users.
