VBA for EXCEL

I have been using excel for years, and lately, I am keen to learn VBA, but not sure where to start. Lots of people suggested that I should buy a book by John Walkenbach. However, I am not sure if this book is intended for general programming and it may not geared for Accountant. I also feel watching a video and doing exercise would be the easiest and fastest way to learn new stuff. If john’s book does not have practice exercises which are relevant to Accountant, I will get bored after reading a couple of pages, let alone go through 1200 pages. What is the best way to learn VBA for a beginner?

Appreciate any comment
