As far as I know, there is no book to learn about SpiderBasic (yet).
Peter: I was not clear apparently. What I meant was: given that I might have a Spider Basic program written, that program has to "live" somewhere. That's th sort of book I was asking about - presumable, that book would not even mention "Spider Basic"

nothing special. Just download and install SB. Run it and everything works fine.
Peter: as above, 'where' and 'how' does the SB basic reside?

If you want to access the data of a web server, use the HTTPRequest() - Command.

In some cases, PureBasic code can also be executed with SpiderBasic. Much of the code is compatible. For some commands, there may be differences in the parameters. You also have to keep the following things in mind:

* There is no event loop in SB. Events must be queried with the Bind*() commands.
* You are not allowed to access the hardware of the computer directly.
* You are not allowed to use Windows Api commands.

But your question is too general at the moment to be able to deal with it concretely. Start with simple code examples and if problems arise, feel free to ask the corresponding questions here.

Greetings ... Peter
