Excel As A User Of XML Data - For Programmers Only

The writer presents Excel as an application object floating on a sea of XML data and explores Excel's integration with Sharepoint, Web Services, IRM (Information Rights Management), and Infopath (Microsoft's forms-based application development system).

This is not a book for the average Excel user.

This is not a book for those wanting to learn how to do VBA macros for Excel.

This is not a reference book for Excel, VBA, or anything else.

What it is, is a good book. The author, Jeff Webb, is an experienced writer with several books on programming topics for the Microsoft platform. Serious programmers will expand their view of Excel as they read and as they do the many examples that are complete with code and screen shots. The 294-page book makes a great week-end reader.
