Suggesting Scripting/Programming Language?
This is the only "nuetral" forum I could think of to post this question. Hopefully, someone will have some insight. I'm the IT guy at my place of business and I'm thinking I need to learn some form of programming language.
We have two servers, 2003 & 2000, and 40+ workstations. I can do a fair job of writing batch files but there are some things I think I can accomplish with scripting that the list of DOS commands can't match.
I think my two choices are VB Script and JavaScript. JavaScript would be nice since I could use that knowledge with the company's websites. But, I don't know if a JavaScript can be run like VB Script on files and folders.
I wouldn't be building programs just writing code to peform file management duties and routine things of that nature.
Any advice?
Mike

VisualBasic would be the way to go for what you're doing.
