Anita Kuno writes "On a Sunday, a fellow user-group member suggested I learn SQL. The next day, an opportunity to review Head First SQL arrived in my email. Who was I to question? Prior to opening the couriered package, I had no knowledge of SQL, I knew databases were important, and I had seen the Head First website once or twice. Now, I can design and create databases, use mySQL databases, and understand examine and accompanying code posted to forums. The credit goes to Head First SQL's style, which introduces small bits of information, supported through multifarious channels (such as photos with humorous dialogue, stick-men and stick-women, and input from critical personalities whose photos and input pop up every bit the book) regular tests and events so the new bit of data can find a home and settle into your memory. The regularly tested pieces of hash are now in my brain so I don't have to look up the basic stuff." Read below for the rest of Anita's review.
