When learning VBA, there's no substitute for watching how macros are constructed
from start to finish, while listening to the programmer explain the reasons and
methodology for the code being used.

I recorded a total of 44 videos for the book that you can regard as your own VBA
tutoring sessions. I have tried to explain the tasks at hand as if we were sitting
at your computer, not only explaining what I am doing, but why. I strongly suggest
that you watch all the videos. There are several hours of valuable information,
plus a few tips and tricks that there was not enough room in the book to include.

This book and the videos are your first big step in a rewarding journey for
learning how to program Excel to develop customized, automated workbook projects. I
urge you to continue the journey; there is always something new to learn, whatever
your skill level may be.

There are 33 lessons in the book, 29 of which are represented by a video based on
the Try It section of that lesson. There are an additional 15 videos for advanced
Excel programming techniques to expand your skills and awareness of VBA's power
with Excel.
