"Tom Urtis -- Excel VBA 24-Hour" - by SubWS() on 07-SEP-2011
Reviewer Rating:
The book is decent, it provides an introduction to using Excel macros and VBA programming. It maintains a gradual pace, although at times sometimes cuts short and rushes through certain sections.
One area of complaint, there are coding errors in some of the examples that can frustrate a new user trying to learn how to code. (albeit, its maybe 1 in 100 that have errors).
This book would be greatly improved if the author took additional time to review and validate all of the coding examples to ensure they work.

Overall...its still worth a read and you will be able to learn something from this book.
