VBA For Beginners Not Dummies

This book will teach you how to create your own VBA programs.

If you're a non-programmer it'll also teach you the fundamentals of coding.

If you're already a programmer and want to apply your skills in VBA then this is your starting point.

Even if you already know VBA you'll probably find some useful tit-bits.

The book is split into 3 main sections Introduction Basic BASIC VBA Essentials The “Introduction” section will help you decide if the book is right for you.

It will also cover some of the requirements you’ll need to have in place in order to get the most benefit from the book.

The “Basic BASIC” section is there for anyone who has little or no experience of BASIC or even perhaps any other computer language.

The section will start with a little bit of the history of computer languages.

Focusing specifically on BASIC it will then cover some of the fundamental building blocks of computer coding Variables Loops Conditions Input and Output Procedures Parameters Debugging The last section is about VBA itself.

It starts with a brief summary of what VBA is and its iterations over time.

The “VBA Essentials” section will then show you how you can utilize VBA to enhance your day to day use of Microsoft Office – whether it be in a work environment or a home one.

Throughout this section – and indeed throughout the book – any new concepts are illustrated by real-life example code which can then be easily incorporated into your own BASIC or VBA programs.

The aim of the book is not to turn you into a VBA expert. There are plenty of other books that claim to be able to do just that.

No, the aim is to provide you - the VBA beginner – with the skills, tools, and confidence to start your VBA journey. The expertise will then come naturally.
