Title: A wonderfully easy read plus a great reference!
Review: If you need to get up and running with SQL in a few hours or days, then this is the book for you! I have been teaching database and web programming classes for 10 years and I LOVE this book! I either require or recommend it for virtually all my classes.True to Forta's teaching form, he takes what could potentially be confusing/frustrating topics and makes them incredibly easy to understand. Forta presents information in a clear, concise, and well-organized manner. He cuts out the small talk and goes straight to the meat of each topic.I tell my students this makes a great "back pocket" book. They read it once, then continue to keep it close at hand throughout their studies and career as a reference. Can't remember the SQL command you need? If you have this book close by, you've found your answer in less than 30 seconds. Now that's great writing!! Thanks Ben Forta...and keep your great books coming!
