Unreadable - Buy Another Book / Use the MSDN,
By JSCC (Lake Taupo, New Zealand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Scripting Windows 2000 (Paperback)
This book lacks depth and the writing style is intensely irritating when one attempts to read it - it's a shock that any editor would allow the book to go to press in the form that he or she did. Here are some of the *many* drippy comments he makes: "...scripting skills are an extra round for your Smith&Wesson, another slug of whisky after a steamy night on the bad sign of town..." "...An ActiveX control can be created in Visual Basic, C++, ElvisSpeak, Visual Hamburger..." With all the other related titles available, and the useful resources in the MSDN, I'd recommend potential buyers do *not* put this one in their shopping basket. The one out of five may seem a bit harsh, but I couldn't get enough useful information out of this book to justify it's purchase, so that's what it ends up with. It may be worth noting that the foreword of this book it written by the author - there is no critique performed by anyone else to be found. Probably for good sales reasons.

Good Coverage of Both Batch Files and WSH,
By Scott Bicknell (San Jose, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Scripting Windows 2000 (Paperback)
Although not as detailed as "Windows NT Shell Scripting" or "Windows Scripting Secrets" are--where each technology's abilities are concerned--it does goes into great detail in the area of command-line utilities included with Windows 2000 and the "Windows 2000 Resource Kit", showing you how to make use of them in scripts.It also explains how to set up your system to run scripts directly from the command line without typing a path or file extension, so that your scripts execute exactly like internal shell commands. It's a very useful reference for shell commands as well as scripting in general.
