First, this is a good book for learning vbscript, or brushing up if you are at a moderate level. I don't believe that expert vbscripters would find much use in it, and it is not a reference book.

However, I have no programning background, and I wanted a good tutorial book. This is that book. Note that the book covers Vbscript has it relates to the web, not to WSH (Windows Scripting Host). I keep this book handy when scripting, and refer to it a lot, but I am still in the beginner stage.

Again, as an introduction to vbscript, get this book!

I buy alot of programming books and most of them get 2 pages read before they go on the shelf but this book I finished in no time flat! Good examples for a beginner. A little too much emphasize on ActiveX components but oh well. A+

Incredibly basic...assumes you don't know to code at all. Needs six chapters to cover variables, functions, arrays, loops! One shallow chapter about the debugger. Security coverage--a bullet on the back cover--a joke. No mention of Windows Scripting Host. Maybe good for someone who wants to learn programming...and makes the weird choice to start out with VB Script. In sum, a bizarre book.
