Professional Excel Development: The Definitive Guide to Developing Applications Using Microsoft(R) Excel and VBA(R) Review by George
Technical Book on Excel Development
The book targets professional developers and definitely is not a beginner's book. It has a high technical level. The book assumes that you have a firm grasp of Excel and experience writing VBA. At over a thousand pages this is not really a book to read cover to cover. It is an excellent reference manual. There is good separation between the chapters. So you don't need to read the previous chapter to understand the present chapter.
This book doesn't waste time covering beginning areas that a professional developer should know. The book spends almost all the time discussing intermediate and advanced topics. There are plenty of code examples in the book that helps understand the concepts being presented.
The chapters covering best practices are good. It is interesting to hear professionals share their knowledge and expertise on what they consider the best way to do something. Don't have to always agree or implement their concepts, but to get professional points of view over a subject, is helpful. This is an excellent book to have on a bookshelf.
