Lightweight yet powerful, VBScript from Microsoft® is used in four main areas:
server-side web applications using Active Server Pages (ASP), client-side web
scripts using Internet Explorer, code behind Outlook forms, and automating repetitive
tasks using Windows Script Host (WSH). VBScript in a Nutshell, Second Edition
delivers current and complete documentation for programmers and system administrators
who want to develop effective scripts.
Completely updated for VBScript 5.6, WSH 5.6 and ASP 3.0, VBScript In a Nutshell,
Second Edition includes updated introductory chapters that will help you keep
current with the significant changes since the first edition was published. New
chapters introduce the Windows Script Component for creating binary COM components,
and the Script Encoder.
The main part of the book is a comprehensive reference focusing on VBScript essentials
with an alphabetical reference to all statements, keywords and objects, and a
section of notes and solutions to real-world gotchas--various undocumented behaviors
and aspects of the language--to help you avoid potential problems. Each entry
in the reference section details the following:
- The keyword's syntax, using standard code conventions
- A list of arguments accepted by the function or procedure, if any exist
- A discussion of how and where the keyword should be used within the scripting
environment
- A discussion of the differences between the operation of the keyword in
Visual Basic or VBA and in VBScript
Regardless of your level of experience programming with VBScript, VBScript
in a Nutshell, Second Edition is the book you'll want by your side--the most
complete, up-to-date, and easy-to-use language reference available.

Most comprehensive reference on VBScripts that I have ever seen.
VBScripting doesnt get much respect, judging by the number of books available on the subject (and the age of many that do exist), but as one who has been scouring the bookshelves for a good reference for VBScript, I can say that this is the best one I've ever seen. If you do any VBScripting, and want to go beyond drive mapping and "net" commands, this book will become more than "just" a reference guide - it can be an eye-opener and an inspiration to what you can do to manage your enterprise. The more you look, the more you'll find capabilities that you never knew existed. This book is that good, and makes an excellent companion to the Microsoft "Windows 2000 Scripting Guide." It is not a book for beginners that will teach you how to script, but if you've been VBScript for some time, you'll appreciate the breadth and depth of this reference. It is an incredibly comprehensive reference guide to VBScripting.
