Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a great book and I'm going to teach out of it. It is clearer and more accessible than big database textbooks that cost $140 (which the students never read anyway.) Plus, it has great screenshots and covers both Mysql qnd Microsoft Access. But what I really like is how much design he put into it. It covers a lot of the really essential items and is a pleasure to read.
