Completely agree as well. You can't learn to code by reading a book (in my opinion)

I think it's most important to come up with some incredibly interesting question that you need to know the answer to and that you can only get that answer by using VBA. Learning programming can be really tough, so you need to have a desire and motivation which outpaces the suck.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

 

That will likely be more than enough. VBA wasn't my native programming language either (C++) so if I was unsure about syntax I usually just googled it. Furthermore, out of our entire SA class, only myself and one other intern ever did any programming in VBA, from my experience its generally based on how willing you are to lend help in that area.
