Vbscript In a Nutshell

VBScript in a Nutshell, Second Edition, delivers current and complete documentation for programmers and system administrators who want to develop effective scripts in all four areas. Completely updated for VBScript 5.6, WSH 5.6, and ASP 3.0, VBScript in a Nutshell, Second Edition includes introductory chapters that will help you keep current with the significant changes since the first edition was published.
