Good JScript Reference?

Can anyone recommend a good online JScript reference for beginners? For me, the explanation of the Vegas scripting API does no good, because I have no idea what the hell constructors, classes, enums, etc. are, and how to use them when writing a script. If I knew the proper "grammar" for writing scripts, and knew what all the elements of the API were, I'd be able to get off to a running start.

Thanks!

Check out this FAQ. There's a link to Microsoft's online JScript docs.

Hmmm....is there something more geared toward beginners? The Microsoft reference is all Greek to me....

Thanks!

The books that I've looked at tend to be more oriented toward doing web stuff, and not so good for "scripting" per se. I haven't found a good one that I like yet, just bits a pieces from several.

If you are a beginner, perhaps you would have more luck looking at something other than JScript, such as regular Java, or C#. You could then apply that knowledge to JScript pretty readily. Might make it easier to learn.
