VBScript Website Development

VBScript has gained a great following among the large number of developers who target Microsoft platforms. Lacking support by all browsers, VBScript is generally not the client-side scripting language of choice for web applications aimed at the public Internet. Where VBScript shines, however, is within the large base of intranet and browser-based applications available only on an internal company network.

Ideal Language for Scripting COM and ActiveX

Many complex features, operations, and business rules in modern web applications depend upon custom or off-the-shelf components. Typically, these components expose a scripting interface for use in Active Server Pages (ASP), Windows Script Host (WSH) or other platforms.

VBScript, and its relative Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) are each a subset of the popular Visual Basic (VB) language. Developers with VB skills will generally have less difficulty adapting to the differences in VBScript than they would with a more foreign language, such as Javascript.

Program the Windows Scripting Host

Quite a few tasks on the Windows platform can be automated by the use of scripts and the Windows Script Host. With both a GUI and a command-line interface, the WSH allows VBScript programs to run on the Windows platform. Many features of the Windows operating system are exposed with a scripting interface. Administrators can save much time and can become more productive at routine tasks when they know how to leverage these operating system components. By writing scripts, these components can be called as needed, and even scheduled to run as needed.

Leverage your VB Skills

Get the most from your investment in the Visual Basic language. VBScript and VBA have many similarities with the full VB language. While experienced VB developers may find VBScript to be limiting, many new developers are quickly at ease with this friendly language. VBScript is a natural choice for your internal applications.
