Description of VBScript Programmer's Reference

VBScript is an incredibly versatile tool—easy to learn, powerful, and flexible. This fully updated guide combines a comprehensive overview of VBScript and associated technologies with practical examples you can use, whether you're a beginner, a veteran programmer, or a network administrator.

If you're new at VBScript, or even to programming, this book will teach you what you need to know about this multipurpose language. If you're experienced, you can skip the fundamentals and focus on the updates in this version, including changes to the script debugger, control and encoder, as well as the Windows Script Component Wizard, regular expression, and remote scripting. Finally, everyone who works with VBScript will learn how to use VBScript with ASP and DHTML, write powerful login scripts, and automate repetitive, time–consuming, and error–prone tasks with Windows Script Host.

Packed with practical examples and up–to–the–minute coverage, this reference takes you as deep into VBScript as you choose to go.
