Description

VBScript is one of Microsoft's scripting languages. It is useful both on client-side and server-side web programming, making it the primary language for programming ASP, and it can be used to program the new Microsoft Windows Script Host. The language itself has been gradually increasing in power and flexibility, and the newest release, VBScript 5.0 - which comes with IE5.0 and can be downloaded for IE3 and 4, or other hosts - represents a huge increase in functionality and usefulness.

This book features;

• Complete guide to the VBScript language and its syntax
• Up-to-date details of the most recent scripting engines for Internet Explorer, ASP and the Windows Script Host
• Coverage of the new features in VBScript 5, including constructing classes, specific data-types and using regular expressions
• Coverage of a vast range of uses that VBScript can be put to work with
• Extensive reference covering the various implementations and all the relevant object models

This book will not only serve as a reference guide to the VBScript language and syntax, but will also demonstrate its usage in context with many practical examples. It is ideal for anyone who uses VBScript as a programming language, or wishes to learn. It is a desktop reference and quick guide for ASP programmers, IE programmers and Windows Script Host programmers.
