is written after experimenting and testing all the snippetscovered in this book. Batch File Programming is a pretty old one, but i have found lot of books thathaven’t covered the dark-side of the batch, which still remains untold. The ultimate goal of this book is tomake the readers understand how it works, what are the limitations of the batch, what else is possible witha batch, constructing useful programs with various views, Creating a batch virus by mis-using thecommands, creating a batch file to an executable and lot more.This book is aimed at novice to advanced programmer, No matter if you are new to programming,this would be the right drive to start with, since this book contains realtime examples along withscreenshots that really helps in a better understanding of the concept.
