Writing Excel Macros ReviewThis book is not aimed at absolute beginners, although it pretends to be (it contains short descriptions of other languages, and devotes some time to elementary concepts). It will be appreciated by readers with some minimal programming experience, like all O'Reilly books. For novices, I'd suggest the readable "Excel 2000 for Dummies" by G.Harvey. In brief, the book's virtues are clarity and brevity. 500 pages is below average for a sector full of bloated manuals. These two virtues alone justify the 4 stars of my rating.
The shortcomings are the incompleteness of the treatment. Structures and objects are not really introduced, but you can't have it all in a slim book, and the author in the firy first pages warns the reader that this is a book for average-complexity macros. There are (minor) typos here and there, and in each chapter the author shamelessly promotes other publications and software tools written by him. A more impartial bibliography would have been appreciated. Yet, in my opinion these are minor flaws.
Personally, I would have liked an even more synthetic style in exchange for a more comprehensive treatment. In any event, O'Reilly offers a VBA "nutshell" book that is supposed to be good. The author has also written a book on Object-Oriented-Programming in VBA, edited by Springer-Verlag.
In synthesis, whatever topic the author chooses to cover in the book, he does cover it very well. But some essential aspects of VBA are missing, and they could have been added with little effort. Still, the book is reasonably priced, well written and well edited. Overall, a good buy.Writing Excel Macros Overview
