Just to emphasise as well, am fully aware that working in a area like quant would require 1st class Math, 1st class business knowledge and 1st class knowledge of a who array of dev languages. I’m not underestimating the effort required in the leap.

Simon, would definitely be interested.

Something I would be really interested in is a topic on a step up from working independently in arenas where I’m the only VBA dev helping accounting and reporting depts with mear automation to areas where VBA is pushed to it’s limits in Pricing, Risk and quant. I know there’s a lot of people in my circumstances that are good self taught VBA devs, but can never make the leap due to not having been exposed to the bigger picture and not having exposure to other languages etc and working with 3rd party data from BB or TR products. It would be really interesting to hear from anyone that had made that leap and suggested learning and development paths.

Harlan – undoubtably true, but it probably depends on your point of view

Simon – Just as a bit of a sidenote, how do you define intermediate and advanced excel users

Sounds great, particularly pitched at a higher level.

Count me in. End of May sounds good. Interested in .Net and Excel Services but also Excel BI and dashboards. It’d be good to get a view of the Excel roadmap from MS as well

Happy to come with more biscuits – and even speak as well
