Hi all, I am a college student and need to learn Visual Basic for a project I will be doing. I have quite a bit of time to learn it, about a quarter, and was wondering what books/websites the experts would recommend. Thanks for your help!!
I would recommend "Excel 2002 VBA Programmers Reference" from this list. I loved the 2000 version of this book but MrExcel himself tells me that the 2000 book is crap (I'm paraphrasing), but the 2002 is very good indeed.
If you're looking to learn VB and not necessarily VBA I would highly recommend "Learn to Program with Visual Basic" and "Learn to Program Visual Basic Objects" by John Smiley.
He uses a real world project to take you through the learning process in a classroom environment. The second book is a continuation of the first.
Wen I started, I found a really useful reference book was Excel 2000 VBA by John Green, published by Wrox Press.
Has loads of Code examples and useful reference tables.
