dPhilc's Review

A highly lucid text indeed on a topic area that not many writers have even attempt to get to grips with. After writing this text, I began to create add-in from memory. It's a shame there aren't more books like it.

Clear, concise and to the point

Like others, I purchased this book because I was tired of screwing up my face at the pathetic Microsoft documentation. Dr. Roman's explanations and sample code got right to the heart of the matter. Major kudos...

Very clear and well-written

This book is very clear and well-written. I like Steven Roman's books because they cut through the fog and get down to the essential CONCEPTS. Some of the other reviewers seem to think the book should take them by the hand and do everything in the world for them. I, for one, and tired of bloated 1,000-page plus tomes where you can't see the forest for the trees. What I like about this book is the focus on the ideas.

Well-written introduction to VB add-ins

This is a well-written, informative introduction to VB add-ins. It contains everything most VB developers need to know to get started writing their own add-ins.
