Written specifically with the beginner in mind, ?Microsoft Excel VBA for the Absolute Beginner, Second Edition? is the follow up to the most successful and best selling title in the Absolute Beginner series. It contains completely updated information written for Excel 2003. It is geared towards students taking introductory programming courses, as well as professionals who frequently use spreadsheets and want to expand their knowledge of the capabilities of Excel by writing their own programs. An ideal introduction to programming techniques, it concentrates on introductory programming topics and good programming practices, using the VBA Excel language and the creation of simple games to reinforce each new skill.

Visual Basic Scripting Edition, or VBScript, as it’s commonly called, began its life amid a certain amount of fanfare as a client-side scripting language for web browsers. Its appeal was that it was a subset of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), the most widely used programming language in the world, and hence promised to make Internet programming easy not only for the huge installed base of VB/VBA programmers, but also for new programmers.

Visual Basic Scripting (VBScript) and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) are vital tools for systems administrators grappling with the increasing complexity of Windows technologies. However, busy admins have been without a straightforward guide to scripting…until now.

Managing Windows(R) with VBScript and WMI explains how Windows administrators can effectively use VBScript to automate common administrative tasks and simplify complex ones. Detailed coverage of security concerns provides admins with the means for safely using VBScript in Windows environments. The book is organized around the problems you face daily, with reusable examples and coverage of Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 2003.

This user-friendly reference demystifies scripting and then shows you how to produce new scripts from scratch. You will be producing useful scripts right away as you study the VBScript language and learn how to control nearly every aspect of the Windows operating system with WMI and the Active Directory Services Interface (ASDI). You will be able to build your own administrative Web pages and use advanced scripting technologies such as script encryption, scripting components, and script security. The book closes with still more ready-made example scripts accompanied by complete line-by-line explanations. The CD includes all the code from the book and trial versions of PrimalScript 3.0 and VbsEdit. A companion Web site provides updates and errata.

The Book of Visual Basic 2005 is a comprehensive introduction to Microsoft’s newest programming language, Visual Basic 2005, the next iteration of Visual Basic .NET (Microsoft has dropped the .NET in the title). A complete revision to the highly acclaimed Book of VB .NET, the book is organized as a series of lightning tours and real-world examples that show developers the VB 2005 way of doing things. Perfect for old-school Visual Basic developers who haven’t made the jump to .NET, this book is also useful to developers from other programming backgrounds (like Java) who want to cut to the chase and quickly learn how to program with VB 2005.

Many beginning programming books try to teach the reader three things at the same time: how to write a program, how to write a program using a particular programming language, and how to write a program using a particular compiler. To avoid this triple source of potential confusion, Visual Basic 2005 Express: Now Playing provides a short primer on how programming works in general, regardless of the programming language used. Once readers understand the general principles behind computer programming, the book then teaches readers how to use the Visual Basic Express program itself and how to write programs using the Visual Basic language. The CD includes numerous short source code examples that you can run and modify, and movies that show how to accomplish specific tasks with Visual Basic 2005 Express.
