1.VBScript in a Nutshell, 2nd Edition by: Paul Lomax, Ron Petrusha April 01, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $39.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $26.39 You Save: $13.60 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $9.87
I've been a big fan of the 1st edition for years and found it very helpful. I use Regular Expressions a lot in Perl and found VBScript's support for RE's a bit lacking (could not extract the submatches). I was pleasantly surprised to find that this capability was added in VBScript 5.5. I bought the 2nd edition of this book because it claimed to cover VBScript 5.6. Imagine my surprise when the SubMatches collection isn't documented at all. Overall I'm quite disappointed in the 2nd edition.

2.VB and VBA in a Nutshell: The Languages by: Paul Lomax October 01, 1998

If you have an understanding of VB and need a good reference book, this is it. It will save a lot of the time & frustration experienced when searching with MSDN.

3.VBScript Pocket Reference by: Paul Lomax, Matt Childs, Ron Petrusha February 01, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $9.95 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $4.23
The reference material seems accurate but I have found more detail in the free help file that comes with VBS 5.6. Return values and types and the actual values of the builtin constants, which I didn't find in the book. I apparently overlooked the note that this book was based on VBS 5.5 when I ordered it. I have several pocket references and this is the first that fell short of my needs.

4.Visual Basic 2005 in a Nutshell (In a Nutshell (O'Reilly)) by: Tim Patrick, Steven Roman, Ron Petrusha, Paul Lomax January 30, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $49.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $31.49 You Save: $18.50 (37%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $6.89
This book is a really good reference. It has made me much more efficient. It has good information of the new features of VB 2005. It has several chapters on the basics of VB as well as advanced features such as generics and attributes. I would definitely recommend buying it if you are already familiar with VB and want a good reference book for VB 2005. I try not to program without it within arms reach

5.Learning VBScript by: Paul Lomax July 01, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.69
This is the best VBScript book and I've never felt the need to get another one. It's accessible to a novice (which I was when I first bought it) but has enough depth and richness of information to still be used as a reference guide now that I have over 5 years of experience. I can look up all the functions in it quickly (easy to forget syntax when you're programming in VBScript and client-side JavaScript at the same time), since I've marked the pages with post-it tabs, and it's well organized so that I can find things quickly even if I haven't marked them. Sure, it doesn't describe some of the newer language features that came out after it was published, but still it will work 95% of the time. I notice the same author worked on the O'Reilly VBScript in a Nutshell book, so I might check that out, ... Read More

6.VB.NET Language Pocket Reference by: Steven Roman, Ron Petrusha, Paul Lomax 2002-12
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $9.95 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $0.99
Finding things in this little book is surprisingly difficult. The organization is strange and there is no index. If your patient enough, you can eventually find what you need. This book is supposed to save time, but it frustrates.

7.VB. NET Language in a Nutshell (2nd Edition) by: Steven Roman, Ron Petrusha, Paul Lomax 2002-04
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.93
I absolutely highly recommend this book. Having read through several .NET books with no rhyme or reason whatsoever as to how they're put together, I was hoping this book would become a concise _beginning_ point of reference for me. Boy was I wrong! I use this book constantly. The first week I had it, I referenced it almost daily, and not just for the quick-fix-reminders (in which order do those stupid DateDiff arguments come?). There are nine chapters before the actual reference, which are a veritable tome of information not found anywhere else (at least, not by me). In fact, I'd venture to say that the chapter on OOP should be required reading before you can even download the framework. There are a lot of concepts in that chapter that are required even to build simple apps ... Read More

8.Laura Lemay's Web Workshop Activex and Vbscript (Laura Lemay's Web Workshop) by: Rogers Cadenhead, Paul Lomax 1996-12
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.81
I like the way Ms. Lemay wrote the book, She makes it easy for a beginner like me in VBscript easier to understand the language. It is like one of her Teach Yourself books! I highly recommend this as a good reference!
