Official Description[edit]

Introduction to Programming Using Visual Basic (44-140)
An introduction to event-driven programming in an object-oriented environment.

Overview[edit]

Learn how to write basic macros and create forms. Only for use in Microsoft Office applications.

What actually happens[edit]

VBA is a macro language designed by the Microsoft Corporation to allow you to simplify tasks in the Microsoft Office suite. Instead, they've created one of the most prevalent forms of virus hosting by allowing said macros to be embedded into the documents themselves. However you do not learn that. Instead you drag and drop elements into dialogue boxes, and thusly does the class fail to teach you anything of worth. We suggest taking Programming II if you want to learn something that could potentially be useful.
