Title: Should start slower, reference material should be separated
Review: I really loved chapter 1. Chapters 2 and 3 had way too much reference material without opportunity to use it. I was trying to memorize too much detail. Many things were mentioned with the idea they would be elaborated on later. They could've been saved for later. I'm only on Chapter 4 but I am really struggling to keep going and I have read many books like this cover to cover. Because I do not do development in my current role this is a very challenging book for me. I look forward to getting to later chapters but it is rough going. I like that examples are Access based, not SQL server-based.
