Customer Reviews

As good as the experts say.

I'm new to VBScript and have to come up to speed quickly for my job. I subscribe to "Experts Exchange" (best on-line resource, bar none) so when I searched on "best vbscript programming book" and numerous hits came back naming Ed Wilson's book, I knew this was the right choice. The seller's price was the lowest and the book was delivered in just a few days. This was definitely a 5 star transaction.

Great Start for VBScript

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.

Good introduction for learning VBScript

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.
