2.0 out of 5 starsErrors Abound
By TD on November 4, 2008
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book is decent for getting starting in VBScripting, but you should not pick this book up if you are new to programming. In the first few chapters, he doesn't just go over the basics, but he brings in things that will only confuse new programmers. He dives right into WMI queries and such before you even have a firm grasp on the fundamentals. While he does mention that he'll go over these in later chapters, it only would cause a person with limited experience to become overwhelmed. When he started on the IF.. THEN.. ELSE stuff, he used very basic examples that really drove home the ideas. I wish he would have used that throughout the book and saved the advanced stuff for later (when he had time to explain it rather than telling someone to ignore the code.. it makes the code hard to read and hard to understand if you don't know what is going on in it).

The other unfortunate thing is the numerous spelling/grammar errors in the book. Things like double words (we we) and words that have improper conjunction (you"ll). The book also misses when it tries to walk you through building code. It misses entire steps on where to put lines (even when he is obviously trying to walk you through it). You are left trying to figure it out yourself with zero explanation.

There really needs to be a new version to fix some of the glaring errors in the book. The errata would be lengthy and only get in the way if you are constantly having to refer to it as you walk through examples.

It's somewhat of a disappointment.

4.0 out of 5 starsGreat Start for VBScript
By A. Quintero on October 18, 2007
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
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.

3.0 out of 5 starsOlder material but still useful

This is an older book but the material is still relevant and I think the code samples are easy to read and modify to use for your purposes.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood introduction for learning VBScript
By Benjamin S. Prusinski on December 23, 2006
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
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.

By Jeanine Stone on January 11, 2013

I'm not completely thrilled with the way this book is set up but it was recommended to me so I got it. I think there are others that don't just deal with administrative tasks.

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.

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. Read more
