VBScript in a Nutshell (In a Nutshell
(OReilly)) by Ron Petrusha
Nutshell
Because it applies the concise and popular Nutshell format to Microsofts
preferred scripting language, VBScript in a Nutshell is a valuable learning
resource and reference. Focusing on the core language rather than on any
specific application, this book teaches how to write clear, efficient VBScript
code. Whether developing for the Web, automating Windows, or
customizing Microsoft Outlook, this book will help the reader do a better
job. Though it caters to new users, VBScript is mainly a reference book.
Each piece of the core VBScript specification (plus the Dictionary and
FileSystemObject objects that make up the Microsoft Scripting Runtime) is
described in an alphabetized entry. For each statement, function, operator,
and object, the book gives a quick description of the elements syntax,
concise rules of its proper use, information on returned values (if any), and
some examples of the language element used correctly in practice. Two
additional sections on each language element will be valuable to novices
and anyone stumped by errors: a Rules at a Glance section that
documents correct usage, and a section called Programming Tips &
Gotchas that highlights common mistakes. --David Wall Topics covered:
Core VBScript and the most important object models on which it operates,
including Microsoft Internet Explorer and the Windows Scripting Host.
Tutorial material and reference entries explain structure, syntax, and
program design.
This is not intended for beginners in scripting or VBScript in particular . But
for anyone with even moderate programming or scripting, this may be all
youll need to become familiar with VBScript.
Written in the spare, terse style of all Nutshell books, the book is very
dense in terms of information. The major aspects of VBScripts versatility
are explored (though there are no references to HTML Applications
(HTAs)). The major functions are explained and there is a complete
reference.
An essential volume for anyone using VBScript.
