VBScript is an excellent first programming language to learn. Its simplicity makes learning basic programming concepts easy. Yet VBScript is a powerful scripting language from which you can learn even the most complex programming concepts such as how to perform object-based programming. Unlike Visual Basic, VBA, and many other programming languages, there is no complex development environment to learn. In fact, you can create all your VBScripts using a simple text editor such as Windows Notepad. VBScripts can be run on WSH (Windows Script Host) and several other environments. If you are new to programming with Microsoft WSH and VBScript and are looking for a solid introduction, this is the book for you. Developed by computer science professors, books in the for the absolute beginner series teach the principles of programming through simple game creation. You will acquire the skills that you need for more practical WSH and VBScript programming applications and will learn how these skills can be put to use in real-world scenarios. Best of all, by the time you finish this book, you will be able to apply the basic principles you've learned to the next programming language you tackle."

One of the most often asked questions about programming is where do I start? I personally recommend "Microsoft WSH and VBScript Programming" in any setting working with any Operating System you will have to do maintenance on your systems and network. Although this book focuses on Microsoft products, the simularities between "Scripting" in other environments are very close to each other. Taking what you learn in this book, you will be able to understand and progress through other languages, such as: JScript, Perl, PHP. The sample scripts in this book and on the companion website are both useful and fun. Easily understandable without talking down to the reader, gives the begining programmer a sense of accomplishment. Troubleshooting skills, and the correct way to write programs, will carry you onto an exciting experience in programming without all the confusion. Thomson course technology books are written in a way that is understandable and common to all their books and subjects. New to programming, just want to learn, seeking clarification, this is an excellent starting book and well worth the money.
