Title: The idiot's guide to bad practice
Review: I found this book very hard to navigate and it's a shame this is the only book about windows scripting. For instance, look up array/list in the index, what do you find? - how to create basic arrays but not how to edit or access them. Surely there should be a general section about how to use arrays somewhere? -- You search for file, what do you find? - 2 different file accessing modules at opposite ends of the book that really do the same, only 1 accesses basic information about the file.In a way, it's a bad book for a bad scripting language. When you create files, you have modes 1,2,5,7. What ever happened to 'r' or 'rw'... For something advertised as a visual and easy to use scripting language it isn't visual at all, the syntax is inconsistent and you just end up memorising what appears to be randomised information in this book before you can do anything useful.
Is the review positive or negative?
