Reader Reviews:


2/5 stars

Not a bad book but not what I'm looking for (1/6 people found this helpful)

Well written and easy to follow.
Very few scripting errors. BUT I was hoping for something to help me access databases through ASP. There is only one small chapter on this subject even though it must be one of the most common applications of VBScript. I have now bought "Beginning ASP databases" (same publisher) and I hope this is more helpful.

5/5 stars

Just the ticket if you want to add scripting to your VB app. (1/2 people found this helpful)

I found this title to be excellent. I needed to know about adding scripting to my VB application and the VBScript Programmers Reference explained everything in detail without becoming confusing. I recommend this book to everyone.

5/5 stars

This Book Has Been Gold Dust For Me (1/2 people found this helpful)

I have lost count the number of times this book has been whipped out of my drawer and consulted for a particular problem that I have encountered. Concequently it lives at work follows me to site and never gathers dust.

Fair enough if you think that the index is bad but the book is broken down into specific chapters so if you know what you are stuck on it is not very hard to find the solution.

3/5 stars

Contains lots of info but hard to find due to poor index (1/3 people found this helpful)

This book is well written and seems to contain everything you may need to know about VBScripting. Unfortunately the index is poor and subjects I would have expected to locate easily often dont appear in the index though they are usually somewhere in the book, just take a long time to locate. Would have been 4 or 5 stars but for this.

5/5 stars

Excellent, easy to follow guide for beginners (1/2 people found this helpful)

As a non-programer, I found this book an excellent introduction. It assumes no experience and clearly and concisely takes you through each step.
