I've not finished reading Writing Word Macro's, but it seems like a fine effort to me. I am not a professional programmer, but in contrast to the reviewer who complains that writing Word Macros is Greek to him, I have 6 or 7 university level computer science classes. I have written programs in Basic, assembler, Fortran, and C++. The object-oriented programming framework is complex and not intuitive. If I hadn't taken 2 terms of C++, Roman's book might have been Greek to me too. Instead, it concisely covers a familar concept applied to the Word environment. Perhaps what mislead those reviewers who gave this title a poor rating is that Roman mixes elementary concepts, such as in Chapter 2 when he answers that question "What is a programming laguage?" with the Object concepts that are described in Chapters 9-20. Except for the discussion of the IDE, I skimmed the first 8 chapters. |
