Learning VBScript
- Thread starter amanua
- Start date
What are you using it for? I've seen VBScript used for
- client side scripting
- server side scripting (ASP)
- writing hypertext applications (HTA)
- in place of DOS commands (WSH)
- test tools (QTP, Rational Robot)
For the client/server side scripting and HTAs "ASP for dummies" isn't too bad. It covers all sorts including database access. It doesn't cover HTAs but all you need to do is rename xxx.htm to xxx.hta and you've got a hypertext application.
I can't really recommend anything for WSH. You can do so much in WSH. There is a "how to code this in vbs" help guid e if you download scriptomatic2.exe from Microsoft - can't give you a link because it keeps on changing locations.
As for test tools, there isn't a lot to it. Switch on the recorder, do your actions and see what it generates. Books on VBscript will give you too much info. The ones from WROX press can be very confusing. They are normally written by a number of authors in varying styles. Some are chatty, others are serious. When it is grouped together all in one book, it can be confusing, especially when the authors repeat what each other have said in different ways.
