3.0 out of 5 stars Only VB Script v1.0 covered, no features of v2.0+., August 24, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Inside Vbscript and Activex (Paperback)

The book doesn't cover any of the added features of VBScript v2 and above. The book covers the VBScript that came out with Internet Explorer 3.0. Although the VBScript 1.0 features that are covered are covered well, the many added functions added in VBScript v2 are missing, such as constants, private and public variables, automatic string joining and splitting into arrays, and much more. The features not covered work in Internet Explorer v4.0+ and Outlook 98 (which come with VBScript v3.0+)

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book for learning VBScript, October 15, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Inside Vbscript and Activex (Paperback)

I thought this was a pretty good introduction to VBScript. It had several good examples and explanations. It was a lot more practical and informative than most of the other books I looked at.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a good book for leaning VBscript, May 13, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Inside Vbscript and Activex (Paperback)

I was looking for a book that would teach me VBscript. (I have some programming experience.) Though I learned quite a bit from this book, many explanations needed to be more complete and left me to figure them out by experimenting. Not a good reference - no index of commands (most, but not all, are covered in general index in back).
