From the Back Cover

In response to the critical changes made to VBScript since the release of the previous edition of this successful resource, this new edition has been completely updated to cover Vista, Windows Server 2003, Internet Explorer, Microsoft PowerShell, and the many new developments to the latest version of VBScript.

You′ll learn to do a variety of tasks, such as copy and move files, create folders and files, modify the Windows operating system, and more. Plus, the comprehensive appendixes are valuable references for you to gain greater insight into how VBScript works so that you can start using it right away to save both time and money.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the most thumbed books on my computer bookshelf, 3 Aug 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: VBScript Programmer's Reference (Paperback)
VBScript Programmer's Reference has helped me along the way as I've gone from an absolute beginner with VBScript based active server pages to reasonably accomplished.

To be fair, my usage has only concentrated on the first few chapters (basic language concepts) and some of the appendices (reference materials) but these have many times provided the answers I've needed for creating dynamic web pages.

When I was looking for a reference on VBScript, I wasn't spoilt for choice (the VBScript section was tiny compared to the burgeoning JavaScript shelves) but I think that even if the positioning of these two scripting languages were reversed, this book would still stand out above many others.

All in all, another very good reference manual from Wrox... I look forward to experimenting with the contents of a few more chapters over the coming months.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just the ticket if you want to add scripting to your VB app., 9 April 2002
By Chris Fitzsimons (harlow, essex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: VBScript Programmer's Reference (Paperback)
I found this title to be excellent. I needed to know about adding scripting to my VB application and the VBScript Programmers Reference explained everything in detail without becoming confusing. I recommend this book to everyone.

3.0 out of 5 stars Contains lots of info but hard to find due to poor index, 3 Dec 2000
This review is from: VBScript Programmer's Reference (Paperback)
This book is well written and seems to contain everything you may need to know about VBScripting. Unfortunately the index is poor and subjects I would have expected to locate easily often dont appear in the index though they are usually somewhere in the book, just take a long time to locate. Would have been 4 or 5 stars but for this.
