This review is from: Web Scripting With Vbscript (Paperback)

This is hands down the worst book I have ever seen onVBScript. Let me rephrase that, this is hands down the worst excusefor a computer book in general!

First there is a lack of an actual explanation for anything the author does. He seems to ramble on without truly making sense. The "graphics", if you call equal signs, dashes, and pipes graphics, are inexcusable. If you attempt to "write" a book, at least use screen shots to illistrate your point. Finally, this book bills itself on it's back cover as a handbook for those who want to learn a language but "are stumped by the complexities of learning Java ...... or Perl can now develop web pages ... they've been dreaming about!" Two words for everyone, and I can't type them here. You'll be lucky if you can figure out a single thing if you buy this book.

Basically, don't waste your money on this pitiful excuse for a book unless you want to pay for lining your bird's cage. That is about all this book is good for. I recomend the o'riely book on ASP if you want a reference or a starter book. END
