More often than not, your first encounter with VBScript will be when trying to edit an ASP script to upload to your site. For this reason, VBScript is closely associated with Active Server Pages and is one of the reasons why I often recommend that VBScript in a Nutshell and ASP in a Nutshell should sit next to each other on any ASP developers bookshelf!
VBScript is one of the most friendly internet scripting languages around for anyone that is completely new to the programming scene. Having said that, if you are like me and like to have reference books to hand then you can't go wrong with this one.
VBScript in a Nutshell covers all the basics of the language, including structure, data types and error handling. The actual reference section takes up more than half the book, and lists tips and gotchas as well as examples when they are needed.
There are times when I've confused this book with ASP in a Nutshell, as it also covers some of the objects I have learned to associate with ASP rather than the Windows Scripting Host. You will find that references to the FileSystemObject and Dictionary objects overlap in both books, but it is necessary to have this overlap for those that own either one or the other.
