4.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction for learning VBScript, December 23, 2006
I needed a quick way to ramp up on VBScript for work and have a lot of programming experience so did not want a dummy type book. Great coverage of basics on the language. Only beef is would have liked to see more on how to use ADO and DAO with databases like Oracle and SQL Server.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a good book if you're a beginner, August 5, 2007
By K. Pham (Virginia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book (IMHO) is good if you already have programming experience and want to learn VBScript. It is NOT a good book if you're an absolute beginner. Although the first couple of chapters are for 'beginners', it really doesn't explain the basics of programming. I suggest familiarizing yourself with VBScript (or any other language) before you read this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Start for VBScript, October 18, 2007
By A. Quintero (PA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book to get an idea on how to use VBscript in the MS network that I manage. It was great to have found this book because it gets to the point and was not filled with fluff. This book is a good stepping stone for VBscript but, you should consider learning some VB before tackling it. A little VB or even Office VBA knowledge can help you breeze through the book and its examples. Overall the book was great and I recommend it to learn the foundations of VBscript.

This book is decent for getting starting in VBScripting, but you should not pick this book up if you are new to programming. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Not helpful
This book is not a good look-up source for your problems and questions in VBScript. You can code and test the examples in the book to get started, don't expect more.
