This is a good purchase!

For a programmer who has used VB, Java, or any ASP, this book will boost your skills incredibly with a minimal learning curve. It shows the basics of the WSH objects and an overview of VBScript and JScript within the first few chapters- it is worth buying the book just for those chapters alone....

Great Book!

This book is a great intro to Windows Script Host. A definate must-have for scripting newbies.Some reviewers here complain some of the scripts dont work, but that's because WSH has been updated since then. After you purchase the book, you can download the scripts from the author's website.

Wrong Title

Book should be called "Teach yourself WSH in 21 days If you know VB". Not really a beginner's guide...dissapointed. Going to buy Tim Hill's new book : )

Save your Money.

After finishing approximately 1/4 of the book, I came to the conclusion that I was robbed. I installed WSH and typed in all code within the first few days. Errors are rampant and it takes too much time to debug the author's typos. I emailed the author for help with some of the code and...

Fantastic book!

I am really new to WSH but this book made it really easy for me to grasp the concepts. It strarts from the basics and moves to harder material. I would recommend this book to anyone who needs to learn not just WSH but VBscript and jscript.
