Re: Is It Scripting or Not

Those are certainly two of the better references. Depending on the problem
space you are working in (system or network administration?), you might be
well advised to look for some references specific to those application
areas. VBScript programmers reference is a good intro, but gives little
insight into such things as ADSI and WMI.

I am sure that others will volunteer their favourite books. I'd suggest you
evaluate their comments based on your particular needs, and then buy one or
two. At the same time there are some excellent references online,
specifically the scripting centre that LakeGator mentioned.
