How do,
I've been telling myself to post this thread for too long!.
After DRJ recommended the; Microsoft Virtual Academy (http://www.microsoftvirtualacademy.com/?mtag=MVP4039979), I can't really hold it off any longer.
I have a habit of waffling on.., so I'll keep this brief
- There isn't a single area of IT, that I don't find fascinating
- This means, I find it incredibly difficult to work out, exactly, what I want to be "When I grow up" .. I'm 33!!
- Excel has been my best friend for around 3 years now, as its helped my get "My name" around at work, so I've completed various projects, I wouldn't have been considered for otherwise
- Excel is, in itself, part of the problem.
- Excel, in all its awesomeness, has its limitations and most of all, I know very people that are't scared of it. So, no matter how many hours/days, I spend on a project, It quickly fizzles out, due to the users' trepidation around using Excel.
- I'm reasonably confident, that I'd be well suited to software development (PLEASE feel free to correct me!!), as I have mostly enjoyed learning VBA, while using excel and creating userform based applications.
- All the different language options, regarding anything other than using excel, scare me, and to be honest, I just don't have a clue where to start.
- Which language is the best to start with?
- I'm terrible at reading books!!.
I'm sure that the MVA will help a lot, but still, I would love some guidance, on the first steps
