Inviting folks who've mastered Mr. McPher's utilities to a small bit of paid orientation and Getting Started handholding. Having already approach Mr. McPher offlist he's referred me to the list here. I've posted a thread over at http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/showthread.php?t=187588 or am also happy to go one-on-one via Paypal or whatever you're preferred venue is.

The thread over at ozgrid has expanded the description slightly (but not much - seems the idea of Excel using Json to interact with remote services is a somewhat advanced topic) but here's the nutshell:


Requesting orientation to the Data Manipulation Library presented at http://ramblings.mcpher.com/Home/excelquirks/json. I'm a C# coder completely stymied by the VBA IDE. I'd like to watch over someone's shoulder as they wire up the various pieces of code required to start using Mr. McPher's utilities.

At a minimum, I'd expect a sheet that implements the marshaling of a row into a Json object, submit to a URL, and process a Json-based. Ideally we accomplish that so quickly that we can explore the ideas found at http://ramblings.mcpher.com/Home/exc...nk/vbapromises. Json submissions and asynch processing goes hand-in-hand. I think these 2 objectives can be addressed in a couple seperate desktop sessions with a handful of emails for followup and clarifications.

Obviously this is a somewhat open-ended request. I'm not in a position to explicitly define precisely what constitutes a finished product but as a professional interacting with other professionals - I'm not going to 'move the goal posts' just to leech out a few more morsels of info. If you've already interacted with Mr. McPher's libraries you've (probably) already learned much of what I need ... if you aren't, I'm betting you'd find it profitable to explore.

Given the need for direct, verbal interaction I'll admit to a bias to a native English speaker but comprehensibility is the deciding factor.

Looking forward to getting started with this ASAP.

thx
