3.0 out of 5 stars Not the worst, not the best., November 18, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Vbscript by Example (Paperback)

A general overview of VBScript. Definately not the best book. If you are used to books like Professional Active Server Pages (Wrox) or JavaScript for the World Wide Web (Peachpit Press), you will be sorely disappointed by this book. One good thing about it is that it gives review questions at the end of every chapter, which I liked, but as far as information goes, it is not the best.
