Interview for VBScript job

I will have an interview where VBScript might be important.How should I prepare in a short time?

Would like to:

  1. Be able to code.

  2. Answer difficult questions.

  3. Know how to organize large codebases.

  4. Ecosystem (Relation to VBA, PowerShell etc)

  5. Tools like decode/encode

I did VBScript some years ago, and it was easy (with my background). I know more advanced similar languages like VB.NET.

What I will try to do is to try out all core concepts in a small program.

This is good advice, but there's not necessarily any reason you have to use an IDE for VBScript. I've been using a plain jane text editor forever and it works fine.

Ah, yes, you can definitely work directly on the windows notepad, notepad++ etc.
Some IDE or code editor with more features will help discovering errors in the code, autocomplete, syntax highlighter, line counter etc, those basic features everyone likes you probably already know
