Good introduction to batch scripting. The book has some good examples and it's easy to read.

The language is very clear, and there are plenty of exercises to reinforce the material. It’s exactly what I need.
For instance, there’s a book called *Batch Scripting: From Fundamentals to Advanced Automation*; to me, the writing style in that one is much more difficult.
Очень понятный язык и много задач, которые позволяют закрепить материал. То что мне нужно. Например есть книга Batch-scripting-from-fundamentals-to-advanced-automation. По мне, так она намного тяжелее в смысле языка изложения.

Don't bother with this as you shouldn't bother with a computer that has a Windows Operating System on it.
Sorry, for those who still enjoy using Windows products.
Seriously, though, this book is quite a bit outdated.
