Head First SQL

Praise for the Head First Approach

“It’s fast, irreverant, fun, and engaging. Be careful—you might actually learn something!”

—Ken Arnold, former Senior Engineer at Sun Microsystems Co-author (with James Gosling of Java), The Java Programming Language

“I feel like a thousand pounds of books have just been lifted off of my head.”

—Ward Cunningham, inventor of the Wiki and founder of the Hillside Group

“This book is close to perfect, because of the way it combines expertise and readability. It speaks with authority and it reads beautifully.”

—David Gelernter, Professor of Computer Science, Yale University

“Just the right tone for the geeked-out, casual-cool guru coder in all of us. The right reference for practical development strategies--gets my brain going without having to slog through a bunch of tired, stale professor-speak.”

—Travis Kalanick, Founder of Scour and Red Swoosh Member of the MIT TR100

“The combination of humour, pictures, asides, sidebars, and redundancy with a logical approach to introducing the basic tags and substantial examples of how to use them will hopefully have the readers hooked in such a way that they don’t even realize they are learning because they are having so much fun.”

—Stephen Chapman, Fellgall.com
