vbs, powershell, or java script?
« on: July 28, 2013, 07:24:01 PM »
So I've decided to learn a new scripting language, and was wondering which one you guys would recommend and if you had any good online material to learn from.

If your interest is mostly Windows, then VBScript is  your best bet.

Otherwise, I would have said PHP or Java.
(Never confuse Java with JavaScript). Still, VB cript is an excellent pick.

There are a number of tutorials on on the major languages in current use.

Once you pick one,  come back here and ask for help. CH is free and even better than a paid-for tutor.

BTW, if you work as an administrator in a Windows environment, you need to know power-shell.  DOS is dead.
