Title: Good reference, but not that usefull
Product review: I purchased this book just to add to my scripting knowledge. What I found is that the information provided is really at a very basic level, with poor examples, and a lot of omissions.Although the author hit all of the major topics, the examples given, and explanantion of what was being done in the examples would have left me without a solid understanding of how to use them in the real world if I did not already know 90% of it. In addition, entire chapters on how to work with specific items skip the most obvious and simple methods of scripting how to work with those items.On a positive note, the index is accurate and makes it easy to look up a specific sytax when needed.In summary, it is decent as reference material, but don't rely on this book to teach scripting. You will be left with a lot of questions, overly complex methods of accomplishing goals, and no idea that many of these things can be scripted in ways never even mentioned.
