4.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I was looking for!, July 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: VBScript Unleashed with CDROM (Paperback)

I wanted a good primer and reference guide to VBScript - this book was both. There are a few typos here and there, but I think it's a great book and have gotten a lot of use out of it. This was the second book I have bought from the "Unleashed" series and I just bought a third!

1.0 out of 5 stars Find a different VBScript Book!, October 28, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: VBScript Unleashed with CDROM (Paperback)

This book has so many errors and inaccurate statements that it would definitely place a newcomer to VBScript (which it was obviously written for and by) on the WRONG track. I purchased this book as an aide to prepare for a class I was teaching, and I wasted my money. Do not buy this book!

2.0 out of 5 stars Very little info on actual VBScript, September 21, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: VBScript Unleashed with CDROM (Paperback)

The book only actually has a few chapters on VBScript, of which most are simple reference guides to the language. There is not enough detail on how to actually use the language. My problems with the book: Only a fraction of the language is covered, and what is mentioned has many errors. The chapter on the scripting object model incorrectly describes how to work with frames. I try to write code using the examples and get nothing but errors. The sample scripts provided work but have bad programming style. The book proceeds to explain ActiveX in great detail, but I bought the book for VBSCript, and was very disappointed that there was only a couple chapters of use to me.
