How to Program Microsoft Visual Basic: Scripting Edition

Rating:
Summary: A stinker.
Review: This is a basic-level book for beginners without ANY programming experience according to its introduction. However, its section on introducing programming contains examples in Perl and C++. These languages are casually referred to and used as examples, which is unhelpful and confusing to the beginner just starting with VBScript as their first programming language. Also, the actual VBScript code presented does not work -- a major flaw. If you're a beginner, get VBScript for Dummies or Active Server Pages for Dummies and start with something that will actually make sense.
