Synopsis
Microsoft's Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript), a subset of Visual Basic for Applications, is a powerful language for Internet application development, where it can serve as a scripting language for server-side Internet applications (i.e., Active Server Pages), and client-side web pages. It can also be used for system scripting (i.e., Windows Script Host scripts) and programming Outlook forms.The greater part of this book is an alphabetical VBScript language reference to all VBScript statements, keywords and objects, emphasizing the following details: The syntax, using standard code conventionsA list of arguments accepted by the function or procedure, if any existA description of the data returned by a functionA discussion of how and where the keyword should be used within the scripting environmentA section of notes and solutions to real-world gotchas, and various undocumented behaviors and aspects of the language that help the reader avoid potential problemsA section that focuses on the differences between the language element in VBA and in VBScriptA brief example to illustrate the use of the keywordSupplementing this focus on VBScript language essentials is a wealth of additional information about VBScript, including: Basic language information on VBScript data types, constants, variables, and arraysThe difference between VBScript and VBA or JavaScriptThe use of the MSIE, Active Server, Outlook, and Windows Script Host object models to interface a script with the application it's controllingTables listing VBScript functions and statements by categoryThe version-specific features of VBScriptRegardless of the types of scripts you're using VBScript to create, "VBScript in a Nutshell" is the only book you'll need by your side--a complete and easy-to-use language reference., Microsoft's Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript), a subset of Visual Basic for Applications, is a powerful language for Internet application development, where it can serve as a scripting language for server-side Internet applications (i.e., Active Server Pages), and client-side web pages.

- v***v (2054)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
