The course was good but too dated - Internet Explorer. The teacher was good but some of the example websites were not given or his private so you could not practice some of the exercises.

Good introduction to setup References needed in Excel and how to get Excel to interact with Internet Explorer. Clearly explained how to fill out internet forms with data from Excel for various form objects. Two examples on web scraping data in Internet Explorer.
