The step by step guide takes you through creating a new project and then creating several request handler methods that respond to Web requests. This guide is an introduction to some of the features of Web Connection and uses primarily FoxPro data language commands directly in code to access data and display it.

After you've worked through this guide we recommend you check out the Step By Step with the wwBusiness Object guide, which uses the wwBusiness object to handle data access. Besides using the business object and showing how to utilize a business object in a Web based application, it also shows a few more advanced techniques for generating HTML interfaces in your applications.

Web Control Framework Note:
Web Connection 5.0 features a new Web Control Framework which provides a different mechanism for creating pages and processing requests. If this control based approach is more appealing to you, you should take the Web Control Framework Walk Through. We still recommend looking at this Step by Step Guide first unless you are already familiar with Web Connection as this walkthough demonstrates many core featues, like using the Request and Response objects, Sessions and providing a general overview of the framework that also applies to Web Control Framework applications.
