This book has proven to be a real winner. The 1st chapter is a great, concise overview of VBscript. The remaining chapters delve into pretty advanced topics such as securing your scripts, HTML interfaces for your scripts, and WSF. I'd definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in learning advanced scripting techniques with VBscript.
