Never say never...

I am a software developer, and I've never liked the computer "big books" published for lay people.Until this one.This book is well-written, well-organized, well-thought-out, and well worth every penny. Instead of complex examples (and I've seen plenty of them), John presents simple, brilliantly clear examples that are distilled down to show the exact point he is trying to make, which makes the book very easy to follow.

Indispensable Reference Tool

I spend a lot of time writing Excel macros for my current employer and I can tell you that Excel 2000 Power Programming with VBA has been an invaluable tool. I was familiar with VBA (novice level) before purchasing the book and I feel I've been learning new code at an exponential rate thanks to John Walkenbach's exceptionally clear examples. You really can do some powerful stuff with VBA and Walkenbach is a gifted (and entertaining)...

This book distinguishes itself from others in these respects: (1) As a C and Fortran programmer, I like a bottom-up, structured programming approach; rules about the language, semantics, and other useful issues. This book layes it out in 4 solid chapters. Then, it goes on to describe Userforms and Controls, more advanced VB...

Excellent Book!

I bought this book after looking at several others. I read 150 pages in the first day alone. Excellent resource! I've been using excel for three years now and finally decided to take my knowledge regarding excel to the next level. I chose the correct book to help me do so. Walkenbach is called "Mr. Spreadsheet" for a reason. He knows what he is talking about. There is no fluff or filler in this book. Every page is packed...
