Rogers J. Microsoft JScript .NET Programming

Sams Publishing, 2002. — 339 p. — ISBN: 0-672-32148-3.This book provides a comprehensive transition from JScript to the .NET Framework/platform including coverage of JScript.NET (language), ASP.NET, and Windows Forms. The book will discuss the language changes to ease the developer into working with the new syntax. and then several chapters on ASP.NET will correlate the differences between the former ASP programming model and the new .NET programming model.Introduction to JScript .NET
