I was born the middle of the last century in Los Angeles, California. After moving for a time to the Silicon Valley, I graduated from Humboldt State University amid the redwoods of Northern California.
Two weeks after graduation I was working as a computer systems programmer for Lockheed Missiles and Space (LMSC) back in the Silicon Valley. Two months after that and I was married as I have been happily ever since (for 38 years).
After 14 years at Lockheed I moved from working on IBM mainframes to using PCs running the Unix operating system and encountered a thing called the Internet. Cisco Systems seemed to be the right place to work, so I joined the company as their 650th employee. Eleven years later Cisco had grown to over 20,000 employees.
I retired at the age of 48 and instantly became bored!
Throughout my professional career I'd always enjoyed both writing and providing technical training. So, I attended creative writing classes at my local junior college and began to write.
I managed to write and self-publish a handful of books, but things didn't take off until my wife, Melanie Jackson, an established author with a New York company, left traditional publishing to join me in self-publishing.
In 8 years, from 2010 to now, Melanie and I have made half-a-million dollars self-publishing well over 100 books. I also managed to record a pair of audiobooks for Amazon and Audible sale.
By 2014, our rapid rise to Kindle fame had already dwindled. I decided to

You will never regret. I bought so money courses and gave five stars for a number of them, but this one is exceptional.Thank you so much for reading my mind and know that I am really a beginner.LIz

This course if for complete beginers. I bet even seasoned users might notice something new as well with amount of information it contains.

By James Wilson on 3 years ago

Having observed others and self taught some basics, this review was a great introduction and addition to the basic skills I had possessed prior. The instruction was simple and effective.

This course covers what I need to know for Excel 2013. I especially liked the lecture on Conditional Formatting. I always wondered how people did that to make their spreadsheets both visually appealing and useful for data analysis. Pay attention to the example spreadsheet that tracks book sales revenue - you can use it for any kind of sales. There's a lot of business analytics you can do right in Excel if you know how. Another great course from Brian Jackson.

By Joe Ford on 4 years ago

Course was very informative, but also easy for a new user like myself to follow and understand while learning the many functions. Very clear directions from Brian, and showed he was very engaged in his teachings by reaching out to his students and advising to contact him if there were any questions or if we needed more clarification. Thoroughly enjoyed the course.

By Ted Hietala on 4 years ago

This course starts with basic functionality that you can use right away. Next it introduces more advanced functions including, Conditional Formatting, Graphs and Charts. Brian does a great job of demonstrating the power of Excel with just a taste of what it can do, leaving the door open for further exploration.Nice Job Brian.

By Richard Brassaw on 4 years ago

As it says in the title this is a beginner's course, which is the refresher I needed.Have taken more advanced Excel courses. The problem with those is unless you're a regular user of the program it's impossible to retain everything. What this course is the basics of Excel; the tools most people casual users need.The course is straightforward and presented in a warm and friendly style. One that I'll be able to use as a quick reference in years to come.
