Microsoft Jscript.NET Programming Justin Rogers
Publisher: Sams

Apparently JScript is now called JScript.NET and can be compiled to create .exe files. Off to the main topic of the post. Of course this supports the .NET Framework and a number of languages that NET and Tcl (and Perl and Python) from the Microsoft perspective, see this article in Microsoft's Technet: " Taking Advantage of Windows 2000 and the .NET Platform" [3]. VB.NET – yep, VB.NET could be called a “dynamic language” when you explicitly declare: Your typical C# program (C# being a kind of static language) will cobble together a whole slew of statements, one of which will be a declaration of a variable: string s; Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. I'm sure the list above is not even complete. More on JScript here: http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/jscript/. I knew about J# (Microsoft's attempt to lure Java programmers to the .NET platform), but what the heck is JScript.NET? JScript.NET (Javascript for CLR) ships with the framework redist. NET: The latest version of Microsoft's programming IDE. OK, it's a joke that with one programming skill only you'll be employed for life, but it's a fun thought anyway. I eventually came across JScript.NET. Jsc.exe is the compiler exe, just invoke that. A "Shared Source" version of the CLI and the C# and JScript compilers is at [4]. This is Microsoft's version of JavaScript (yep, the thing that annoys us *sometimes* in IE) and can also be used to create server side pages (ASP, ASP.NET) or desktop applications.
