And that's why I'm writing this blog announcement.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is every serious minded user of MS Excel who wishes to maximise his\/her productivity NEEDS to learn how to use ExcelVB programming to automate most of what s\/he does in MS Excel.<\/p>\n<p>Now, there's a wrong mindset many business users seem to adopt when they hear me say \"MS Excel Programming\". <\/p>\n<p>Quite often they conclude they will need some kind of serious formal IT certification level training as a prerequsite for automating their work in MS Excel.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing could be further from the truth.<\/p>\n<p>You see VIsual Basic for Application is a programming language developed mainly for use by USERS who want to intelligently use automation to boost their output to the next level of productivity.<\/p>\n<h3>In essence ExcelVB is a coding language you and I (I.e ANY motivated user) can learn to use to get Excel to do what we want and how we want it.<\/h3>\n<p>As with most other things in life, ExcelVB programming cannot be mastered overnight.<\/p>\n<p>But it is fairly intuitive, and with diligent persistence any user can develop proficiency in it, to extent that s\/he can build and sell branded, robust custom software for clients at various levels.<\/p>\n<p>How can I be so sure?<\/p>\n<p>Well that's because I've been building commercial quality spreadsheet software for over 2 decades for business users in various fields, and industries.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/tayosolagbade.com\/uploads\/tayosolagbade.pdf\" target=\"blank\">I did it for over 5 of the 7 years I worked in Guinness Nigeria<\/a>, where at a point I learned through the corporate grapevine that I was being called \"Super Brewer\" by colleagues. <\/p>\n<p>This was probably due to the fact that they knew:<\/p>\n<p>1. the apps I developed were formally adopted for brewery level reporting, having replaced manual reporting systems in the departments I worked.<\/p>\n<p>2. I did all that work in my spare time, when I was off duty from shifts or after close of work (after I got promoted to 9 to 5 senior positions)<\/p>\n<p>3. I did not have any IT training or background in programming or software development. All I hold till this day is a 2nd Class Upper Division Honours B.Sc degree in Agricultural Extension Services<\/p>\n<h3>As you can see from the above, I began just like any other person who knew nothing about IT, but had a data handling and report generating PROBLEM that badly needed solving!<\/h3>\n<p>If I could develop myself through self-study to the point that I now sell my apps to international buyers, then so can you.<\/p>\n<p>And that's why I launched my ExcelVB club and offer membership to you, including free weekly tutorials (downloadable videos\/PDFs) and monthly LIVE workshops.<\/p>\n<p>Interested?<a href=\"http:\/\/tayosolagbade.com\/contact.htm\" target=\"blank\"> Click here to send me a message?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you run a tuition centre, do your students a favour and signup your centre so they can all get FREE access. <\/p>\n<p>Indeed you will be able to attract more student enrollments by informing them that they'll gain FREE access to the club tutorial through your centre! <\/p>\n<p>Call me on +234-803-302-1263 or +229-66-122-136 for details.<\/p>\n<h3>Related<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/tayosolagbade.com\/xlvb1on1.html\" target=\"blank\">Signup for Tayo Solagbade's One-on-One MS Excel Heaven\u2122 Visual Basic Coaching Program & Finish With Your Own Custom Excel-VB App You Can Use at Work and\/or Sell to Clients!<\/a\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Wednesday (25th May 2016), I had a 1 hour meeting with the CEO and other team members of an ICAN\/ATS tuition centre in Ojodu-Lagos, and they indicated interest in having me facilitate 2 runs of my workshop for their students.
