Chapter 2. What VBScript Is — and Isn't!

VBScript (or Microsoft's Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is a powerful interpreted scripting language that brings active scripting to a variety of environments, both client and server side. But VBScript is part of a bigger programming world — the world of Visual Basic.

This chapter gives you a peek into this bigger programming world and shows you how VBScript fits in with the bigger picture. As the chapter name suggests, you'll look at what VBScript is and also what it isn't (this, hopefully, will dispel any myths that you might have read about VBScript).
