VBsript is a derivative of Visual Basic.
Visual Basic was derived from Q Basic.
Q Basic was based on Basic.

Q Basic, Visual Basic, and VBscript are all developed by Microsoft. (http://www.microsoft.com)

QBasic is no longer supportedby Microsoft, but it still floats around on PC's that have been upgraded from older versions of DOS.

All i can sugest as far as books are concerned, is to check out www.amazon.com.

Thank You for the info. I've done some research myself and checked the local bookstore for available titles but turned out that there are a few titles around. I also checked out Microsoft's site and got a documentation about their scripting languages which include VBScript but it rarely mentions the history or origin of the language.
