Preface

This book 'Batch File Programming' is written after experimenting and testing all the snippets covered in this book. Batch File Programming is a pretty old one, but i have found lot of books that haven’t covered the dark-side of the batch, which still remains untold. The ultimate goal of this book is to make the readers understand how it works, what are the limitations of the batch, what else is possible with a batch, constructing useful programs with various views, Creating a batch virus by mis-using the commands, 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 real time examples along with screenshots that really helps in a better understanding of the concept.
