Product Description
Product Description
It's the manual Microsoft should have written! A complete reference to the VBScript and Windows Script Host language - for the Windows administrator. Far more than a mere syntax reference, WSH and VBScript CORE: TFM provides you with detailed administrative script examples for each function, statement, keyword, object, property, method and more. If a function can be used in three different ways, you'll find three different and complete examples. No more guessing about what the docs mean and no more hunting around on the Web trying to find the exact example you need. You'll never again wander through examples meant for developers because this book was written entirely and specifically for Windows administrators! WSH and VBScript CORE: TFM is the last VBScript and Windows Script Host reference you'll need, because it's accurate, complete, and designed especially for Windows administrative scripting.

WSH and VB Script Core
18 Nov 2008
Format:Paperback
I agree that this is the book that Microsoft should have written. Prior to locating Jeff Hicks book, my only source of information (note I didn't say worthwhile!) was Google and the MSDN website. Both left a lot to be desired as the information was largely Web-centric and oriented to browser functionality and ASP in particular.
If I would gig this book for anything it would be the fact that it lacks a comprehensive index. Another nice to have would have been a short chapter describing program structure, discussing variables a bit, etc.
Other than that, I can highly recommend this book if you are looking for information on using VB script as a more robust replacement for those old DOS Batch programs. The minor nits above are what kept it from getting a solid 5.

This is one of the best few technical books I've ever came across.
One of the challenges for any technical book is how one should present the material so learning will be the most effective.
This book goes through major aspects of VBS as a language: Functions, Statement, Language, Objects, etr.
If you are programmer - you will be right at home with this structure.
The marvel of this book is that each small chapter is presented with real life easy grasping example. Not only examples are easy, but they address 100% practical matters.
For instance: I had to write a program which would remove older files recursively from folder using filter conditions.
Book had similar examples on how to traverse files, process their extensions, names, creation dates, size, not in one example. But you could pick up techniques used.
Author DOES know and programs VBScript and shares his wisdom in easy understandable way.
I was able to create few not so simple programs within 3 - 4 hours of reading this book.
Having so many books around on this subject, the fact I found this book was a deciding factor of me being able to program (albeit very slow) with vbscript.
Thank you Jeffery!
