Creating an Excel Mashup

Following up on my previous posts sharing my initial Excel mashups (http://www.dailydoseofexcel.com/archives/2012/01/29/excel-mashup-2/ and http://www.dailydoseofexcel.com/archives/2012/01/25/excel-mashup-1/), this post shares the details of how I created the second mashup. It assumes a basic familiarity with C-style syntax, asynchronous processing, and callback functions.
