What Is Visual Basic Script (VBScript)?

We've all seen the very best commercials, such as this: "VBScript is a component-based scripting language developed by Microsoft. It is a light version of Visual Basic with a fast interpreter for Microsoft platforms. VBScripts use the Component Object Model (COM) to access the features of the environment where they are running."That's right, VBScripts use COM to access the environment where they are running. Yet what does this mean? Well, it means that you can do anything you want with them. You could put them in your pocket and take them anywhere you go. You could eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if you wanted to! They're so tiny and portable that there's no limit to what kind of mischief you could get up! Yes, I know what you're thinking: "I've never seen one before!" They're so tiny you can't see them without a microscope! Yet don't you worry; I have some pictures below that show how small they are (and yes, those ARE pictures of real VBScripts). So now that we know everything there is to know about VBScripts, let's get started; VBScript is declared chiefly with the const keyword. Date and time functions in VBScript are displayed with the Date keyword. VBScript has a large number of built-in libraries and procedures. Several standard libraries, like the Internet, Database, etc., are used to communicate with the outside world. There are also other utility libraries like String, Math, etc. JavaScript is like VBScript for client-side web development but with a better name. It's also used on the server side, which means you can use it to create websites that don't look like complete garbage in Internet Explorer.JavaScript is only compatible with major browsers and is the preferred scripting language for public-facing websites.
