What is VBScript?

Dr Bee explains what VBScript is and why it is a good starter programming language to learn.

I wrote a .vbs file while I was at high school.
What it did was simply open and close the disk drive repetitively.

I set up the file on the library computers but stupidly left my USB plugged into the computer.

When I came back to retrieve the USB, the librarian knew I was the owner of the USB and was not happy.
She sent me to the head of IT.

Once I arrived to the head of IT I was panicking, mad anxiety.
He looked at me, read what I did at the library then let me go as if nothing happened.

It took me awhile to realise why he let me go.
Oh man, I miss High School.

Why did you use msgbox instead of wscript.echo. Is it the same thing?

[whentheimposterissus]

i had made 2 or more "viruses" with vbscript. it was a message box script.

[illegalsmirf]

You really think this is a better first choice than e.g. PowerShell or Python?

To make a more advanced "hello world" do this:
X=MsgBox("MAIN CONTENT", ERROR TYPE+ERROR ICON, "TITLE CONTENT")
Example:
X=MsgBox("Hello World", 1+16, "My First Program")
Output:

| Warning! | -- | X |

| My First Program |

| Hello World ( ? ) |

Note:
For anyone wondering the "Warning!" Is the 1 (1+16)
And the "( ? )" is the 16 (1+16)
