Reviewers' Comments
"Think you know Microsoft Excel? Think again. This book covers intermediate
(class modules, dictator applications etc.) to advanced topics like XLLs, C APIs
and Web Services. It offers plenty of easy to understand code listings that show
exactly what the authors are trying to convey without forcing the readers to
follow step-by-step."
Deepak Sharma, Sr. Systems Specialist, Tata Infotech Ltd.
"This book takes off where other Excel books stop. It covers Excel programming
beyond VBA and looks at the professional issues - security, distribution,
working with databases - using VB, VB.NET and Windows API calls. The authors'
depth and practical experience shows in the details. They explain complex issues
clearly, describe best practices, and point out traps to avoid."

"The approach of following an application's development is very effective in
developing the concepts as the chapters unfold. The practical, working examples
used are relevant to many professional programmers."

"This book stands out. While there are plenty of Excel books, I am not aware of
any organized in this way. Information on .NET, and C, as well as other unique
and useful chapters makes this a great offering."
Ken Bluttman, author of Developing Microsoft Office Solutions
"This book explains difficult concepts in detail. The authors provide more than
one method for complex development topics, along with the advantages and
disadvantages of using the various methods described. They have my applause for
the incorporation of development best practices."
