vbscript syntax

Where can I learn the code/syntax to write vbscript?
I suppose any coding in vb 6.0 is acceptable to vbscript.
I dont see books on VBSCRIPT, but ASPNET, JAVASCRIPT, PERL and so on. It
may appear that ASPNET is really VBSCRIPT. Is it?

Perhaps a book on WSH will detail samples in VBSCRIPT.
Can one of you help answer the question?

Try "VBScript Programmer's Reference" Wrox Press (ISBN 1-861002-71-8

Also, O'Reilly has one called "VBscript in a Nutshell" (ISBN: 1-56592-720-6

Good Luck

The WSH (VBScript and JScript) CHM download contains general concepts,
syntax, etc. For the WSH CHM documentation download or any updates, use the
following urls:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.aspx?displaylang=en
The MS Download Center (English Language)

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/results.aspx?productID=478EA476-5552-479E-A200-2C33FFD43F24&freetext=&DisplayLang=en
WSH Updates, Documentation and Utility Downloads (English Language)

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=01592c48-207d-4be1-8a76-1c4099d7bbb9&DisplayLang=en
Windows Scripting Documentation Download (English Language)

For WSH downloads in languages other than English, click on The MS Download
Center link, then select the desired language and click the Go button in the
Worldwide Downloads drop-down box. Once in the appropriate language, select
the equivalent of the Windows Script category in the Product/Technology
drop-down box, and then click the Go button in that box.

It looks like there is only one place for VBscript Information is at the
MSDN.Microsoft.com link you just provided. I appreciate your help!

Answered elsethread.

No, not actually. There are numerous differences.

No. But you must have been going to the wrong bookstore, because there are
vbscript books.

In addition to the "vbscript programmers reference" from wrox press
mentioned by ColdHonedSteel, there is "windows script host programmers
reference" from wrox press. It also contains lots of useful info, but even
though the two books overlap, there is enough in each to warrant getting
both.

No, that is something that only a bunch of us can do.
