Microsoft Access VBA Programming for the Absolute Beginner, Second Edition Review by Scott W. Nickerson

Review within context

This book starts with a great explanation of how VBA is tied directly toward enhancing an Access database. Programming concepts build upon themselves in each chapter with an end of chapter exercise. The work is involved for those not exposed to programming and moderate for those with some object oriented programming experience. In the beginning a lot of discussion must be taken for granted with the 'I believe button' pressed often for the inexperienced. But this gray area is quickly cleared up toward the end when all the building blocks start fitting together. All end of chapter programming exercises relate toward some type of game to make the final key takeaways for a chapter fun and exciting.

There have been reports already made that it isn't for a beginner but be wary of these accusations! Programming at any degree requires an individual to understand discrete logic. If you're serious about learning VBA for access this is a great primer. It will lead toward a fundamental understanding of VBA allowing for more advanced programming books such as Access 2007 by WROX and Access Inside Out by Viescas to make more sense.
