Advanced VBScript for Microsoft Windows Administrators (Pro Other)

Editorial Review:

Product Description:
VBScript is a Microsoft scripting language. It is useful both on client-side and server-side web programming, making it the primary language for programming ASP, and it can be used to program the new Microsoft Windows Script Host. The language itself has been gradually increasing in power and flexibility, and the newest release, VBScript 5.0 - which comes with IE5.0 and can be downloaded for IE3 and 4, or other hosts - represents a huge increase in functionality and usefulness.

- VBScript 3rd edition programmer's reference
The book is very good for me as a beginner and want to master VBScript , each chapter of the 21 chapters is centric , heavy organized and easy to digest material with alot of short code examples , tutorials and figures , and the book end with 10 appendices covering the book in a nutshell and act as a reference , what interested my in the book is Sidebar and gadgets programming , task schedular scripting , powershell scripting using VBS , window script host for windows administration like copying and moving files and creating folders and making reports and automated task handling and HTA scripting , before reading the books i did not know that VBScript can do all that .

- Good Read, Useless for Reference
Like most of the reviews here, I liked this book. The information was presented well and the examples were good. Once I had read the chapters I was going to read though, the book became a bit useless. If you look something up in the index, it will send you to pages where the word happens to be used, even if it was only used in passing. It's like they used a vbscript word-search to create the index. Totally useless. The appendix that is supposed to be a reference is organized by types of things like file system objects, or WMI objects. This is great if you're browsing, but if you're actually looking for something specific, you're SOL. The appendix is not even covered in the useless index. Good read though.

- Perfect Source Text for VBScript as a Language
I've been using this as my "go to" source for all things VBScript since the 1st edition came out - it is clear, well organized, and concise. Unlike other VBScript books (of which I have the misfortune to own several), it is focused on VBScript as a programming language. When I can pack only one source book to take with me, this is the one!

- 2nd Edition is outstanding as a tutorial and as a reference
I owned the first edition of this book, and although somewhat confusing, I was able to learn VBScript from it with some time and patience. Thus, I just expected the second edition to be an update of the first. I was very pleasantly surprised to see that the second edition had been greatly improved. There are clearer and more frequent examples, the text is an easier read, and there are frequent and illuminating illustrations.

Chapter 1 covers the basics of VBScript and is also a crash course in programming basics, since the authors realize that nonprogrammers such as network administrators and web designers might need to work with VBScript. Chapter 2 talks specifically about what VBScript can and cannot do, and points out that VBScript is part of a bigger programming world - that ... Read More

- Good book for starters
I bought this book, as I wanted to write some simple VBScripts to help automating some laborious manual process for my job. This book is so easy to browse through and as I already have some knowledge of VB Programming and so I can easily browse through the chapters. Even for a beginner this is a good book to start with. I could start writing the scripts I wanted for my job and I like this book so far.
