		<description><![CDATA[So if you read the first post hopefully you’ll be convinced that using dot Net is a viable option for an Excel developer. The next logical question you face is what method should you use to deploy your dot Net code. Let’s start by looking at what options are available: A Managed dll called from [...]]]></description>

		<itunes:summary>In this podcast we caught up with Excel DNA author Govert van Drimmelen. Govert is a Mathematics lecturer at the University of Johannesburg, in South Africa. Excel DNA has had some attention from the Excel blog sphere in the past few months, Simon, Mike, and Mathias have all posted about it. I’ve been using it for a while now, and it’s brilliant. Here we talked about how Excel DNA came about, the basics of how it works, some of the new features and what’s planned for the further.



If you don’t know what Excel DNA is, well then listen to the podcast, but in short it’s a free and easy way to get .Net code into Excel.

I’m sure you will all join with me in thanking Govert, not only for making time for the podcast, but also for all the hard work he’s done  in getting Excel DNA out of the door – well done Govert!!!

And remember if you&#039;d like to see more of Excel DNA, I&#039;m giving a talk about it at the UK Excel Dev Con, in a weeks time!!!</itunes:summary>
