      It's a weak book with very basic info. Also it does give basic understanding of writing VBA scripts, it gives almost no examples of how to use it in real work...
      And language is awful :( I understand English is not author's native language. But it's a published book! Someone had to read it out and correct grammar mistakes.

    VBA abbreviation is Visual Basic for Applications. It is not a completely object oriented language instead we can say it as event driven programming language because to run your script you need a host. Microsoft Office comes with inbuilt Visual basic Editor to write your code easily. Using the power of VBA you can easily able to access the COM objects of all Microsoft office. For instance, you can open new word document using excel VBA, you can send the all details of your excel sheet to word document, you can control Microsoft outlook using VBA.

    But among the Microsoft programs, VBA for Excel is most popular used application because almost all kinds of works are done in Excel when compared to other programs such as Outlook, Power point, Access. So, if you know VBA for excel then you can easily do almost all your stuff without any hassle.

    Microsoft Excel by default comes with thousands of inbuilt functions. Even though it has many functions, it does not satisfy all the users’ requirement. In order to resolve this problem, Microsoft allows user to create their own functions according to their requirement with the help of VBA.

    For example, if you want to convert the degree to Celsius or Fahrenheit using Excel built in functions is complex, but it is relatively easy to solve this problem by creating your own function using VBA.

    Visual Basic for Application allow user to create customized User Defined Functions, automating the manual process ,controlling the windows AP.VBA is somewhat closely related to Visual basic but it need  a host application to run your code. You cannot able to create a standalone application using VBA.

    VBA is built into most of the Microsoft Office Applications to allow the user to meet their requirements. It interacts with other application using the OLE automation technology. Sometime VBA can also be called as Macro.

    To start writing your script you need to have the Developer tab but by default Developer tab is hidden by Microsoft. You need to activate it. Let us see how to activate the Developer tab. The screenshots attached in the book is Microsoft Excel 2007 the appearance may look different in other versions but the code will be compatible with all Excel versions.

    Click on the Excel Office button and choose the Excel options then the dialog box will appear as show in the Fig 1.1.Mark the check box Show Developer tab in the Ribbon and click the ok button then you can able to see the Developer tab added to your Excel as shown in the Fig 1.2
