* Written by a Microsoft Senior Software Development Engineer for Microsoft Office 2007, this book explains how Excel Services is brand-new server technology that supports loading, calculating, and rendering Excel spreadsheets on servers
* Addresses how to use Excel Services to acquire browser-based access to spreadsheets, incorporate spreadsheets in portals and dashboards, and eliminate instances where copies of the same spreadsheet are out of sync with each other
* Tackles topics usually avoided by other titles, such as running Excel on Excel Client, rewriting Excel models into code, and writing generic solutions for calculating sheets
* Demonstrates how to leverage servers to offload long-running calculations from desktop machines and reuse logic and business models that are written in other languages without having to re-code the logic and business models
