Product Description

Microsoft's Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript), a subset of Visual Basic for Applications, is a powerful language for Internet application development, where it can serve as a scripting language for server-side, client-side, and system scripting. Whether you're developing code for Active Server Pages, client-side scripts for Internet Explorer, code for Outlook forms, or scripts for Windows Script Host, VBScript Pocket Reference will be your constant companion.

Don't let the pocket-friendly format fool you. Based on the bestselling VBScript in a Nutshell, this small book details every VBScript language element--every statement, function, and object--both in VBScript itself, and in the Microsoft Scripting Runtime Library. There's a special emphasis on the following details:

The syntax, using standard code conventions
The arguments accepted by the function or procedure, if any exist

Entries are arranged alphabetically by topic, so that you can, for instance, easily find details about that string-handling function that you can't quite remember. In addition, appendixes list VBScript operators and VBScript intrinsic constants.

Regardless of how much VBScript programming experience you have, the VBScript Pocket Reference is the book you'll pick up time and time again as your standard quick reference guide to the VBScript language. It is indispensable for anyone writing scripts with VBScript.

Great for when you get stuck 10 Aug 2001

By Craig Fearnsides (fergie@vice4ever.fsnet.co.uk)

Format:Paperback

I personally learnt VBscript for use within ASP pages via SAMS teach yourself ASP 3.0 in 21 days, and found this handbook as the ideal companion. I have friends with much more experience in VBScript and have found that they, after borrowing the book have bought it for themselves. Proving it is a comprehensive quick reference regardless of experience. Well worth it's price and more.
