On the surface, it doesn't appear as if much in Excel 2003 has
changed. There are a handful of new objects and the user interface
is largely the same. But beyond a superficial glance, you'll see
that there are fundamental shifts implied by the new features:
Lists, XML, web services, .NET, and InfoPath build a framework for
entirely new ways to exchange data with Excel. In fact, that's much
of what Excel 2003 is all about--solving problems that deal with
teamwork-- collecting and sharing data, programming across
applications, and maintaining security.
The latest in our Developer's Notebook series, this guide
introduces intermediate to advanced Excel VBA programmers to the
newest programming features of Excel 2003, --focusing just on
what's new--so you can get up to speed quickly. Light on theory and
long on practical application, the book takes you directly to the
topics you'll want to master through a series of hands-on projects.
With dozens of practical labs, you'll be able to decide for
yourself which new aspects of Excel will be useful or not in your
own work. And best of all, you won't have to buy an expensive
revision of a legacy Excel programming tutorial to learn about the
new features--if they're covered there at all.
"Excel 2003 Programming: A Developer's Notebook" shows you how
to work with lists and XML data, secure Excel applications, use
Visual Studio Tools for Office, consume Web Services, and collect
data with Infopath. Each chapter is organized into a collection of
labs, each of which addresses a specific programming problem. You
can follow along to complete the lab on your own, or jump ahead and
use the samples the author has built for you.
The newDeveloper's Notebooks series from O'Reilly covers
important new tools for software developers. Emphasizing example
over explanation and practice over theory, they focus on learning
by doing--you'll get the goods straight from the masters, in an
informal and code-intensive style that suits developers. If you've
been curious about Excel 2003, but haven't known where to start,
this no-fluff, lab-style guide is the solution.
