== Overview ==
FastTrack Scripting Host (FastTrack or FSH) is a [[scripting language]] for [[Windows IT]] System Administrators. The product’s goal is to handle any kind of scripting that might be required to automate processes with [[Microsoft Windows]] networks.
=== Manufacturer ===
FastTrack is produced by [[FastTrack Software]], which is headquartered in [[Aalborg, Denmark]]. The product is promoted by the manufacturer as a one-stop shop for Windows script writers and it’s development paradigm is '''“one operation = one script line”'''. Script writers use a [[Integrated development environment|purpose-built editor]] to create scripts, inserting script lines via menus, drag’n drop or simply typing them in. Scripts may be used out of the box, created from scratch, imported from forums or other users, or customized from product documentation.

=== Basic Structure ===
Under the hood, scripts comprise commands, functions, collections and conditions. When a script is executed, these components are converted into many lines of [[C# code]], sometimes hundreds of lines, depending on the particular script operation. Scripts can be compiled into [[EXE files]] or [[MSI packages]] and treated as standalone Windows applications.
== History ==
FastTrack Scripting Host (FastTrack) was first developed around 2006 to ease the administration burden of IT System Administrators on Windows networks. <ref>{{cite web|last=Smith|first=Russel|title=Product Review: FastTrack Scripting Host|url=http://www.windowsitpro.com/article/product-review/product-review-fasttrack-scripting-host-140986|publisher=WindowsITPro|accessdate=10 August 2012}}</ref>
