"Highlights of the book include: an in-depth look at open-source scripting in Perl and Tcl/Tk; a comparison of Web- and Windows-based languages such as JavaScript, Visual Basic, VBA and VBSCript; a survey of approaches to scripting with object models including Web clients and servers, Dynamic HTML and the DOM; and a detailed look at scripting in the Microsoft Windows environments including ActiveX controls, scripting Word and Excel with VBA, and scripting Windows itself with VBScript. The World of Scripting Languages is for Web developers and application programmers wishing to broaden their skill set, and also provides a toolkit of examples for students taking programming languages courses that focus on scripting."--Jacket.
