Rating: - Excellent Overview to Get You Started Quickly
This book covers an amazing amount of ground in a short space (about 300 pages). For example, when they begin discussing data access, they take the time to explain some of the basics of good database design (such as applying normalization rules). They then show the creation of the database step-by-step with explanations.
This is the general approach--a little bit of theory followed by some hands on examples as they take you through the process of building a simple ecommerce site.

You would have to know how to write SQL to correct this.
