Microsoft Excel 2013 Programming: By Example with VBA, XML, and ASP

This book is very thorough and useful for people who have the patience to work through long examples for every topic, which is a good way to learn if you have a lot of time.My style of learning is to read through and understand certain topics, working from basic ones to more difficult ones and later to actually complex ones, which the book does have an approach compatible with, but my view is that the book would suit a student who wants to work chapter by chapter through the entire volume, and not for reference or random topic selection SIMPY BECAUSE THE INDEX CONSISTS OF ONLY A HANDFUL OF PAGES, in spite of the fact that the book has 1000 odd pages.Other books I possess [some on topics in IT/CS but others in medicine] that are of a similar size have at least 20-30 pages worth of index, so that one can easily locate any topic when necessary.In summary, I would say this is definitely a very complete, detailed and well-written book for students prepared to work through the complete1000 pages, but nearly useless for reference.Thank you!

I've been working through this book during the occasional lunchtime and am now 20% through. So far;The examples are clear and easy to follow with a straight forward progression. The book is over 1000 pages, but don't let this worry you as it is equally proportioned between reference tables, examples to try as well as going into some detail on why it works the way it does.Admittedly as a competent user of excel, I had little to no vba experience so it is sometimes a little confusing. My advise to anyone feeling the same; move on and then come back to it, as it does get easier.There area couple of minor errors in the examples, mainly to do with spacing causing syntax errors, but with some patience and looking up earlier examples these aren't too vexing.On the whole I would recommend. If you are thinking about this or the 'Vba for dummies book', get this! It's better value, provides better descriptions and the workable examples ingrain the knowledge easier!!!
