Resources for learning vbscript and powershell
Hey guys, I'd like to learn vbscript and powershell. Right now vbscript seems to be most important for what I'm doing. This is for work, and I'm hoping someone could recommend a good book I could pick up off of Amazon.com that is relatively recent and covers both scripting frameworks. Also if you have recommendations for a newbie starting out with vbscript & powershell beyond just what book you'd recommend, I'd be grateful for that as well!
Right now I know nothing about either vbscript or powershell and I would like to learn pretty much everything ASAP
If this is useful information, my work is geared towards controlling what windows processes are running as users log off and on, and fast user switch (not doing this for integration into web sites).

Technet "the scripting guys" is an excellent resource. Almost every script ever needed has been done and is on the internet. Scripting (especially VBscript) IMO is almost never written completely from scratch these days.
I enjoyed the CBTnuggets video on VBscript, you might want to check it out.
