Rating: - Great book on basic database programming
I picked up this book to translate what I know about database programming from Unix to Windows. Although this book is a bit outdated since it was published in 2003, 99% of it was useful for me today. This book easily helped me transition my Unix coding into the Windows world and I will be keeping it close on my bookshelf for my day to day needs.
Rating: - All in one
very good book helps the programmer to get what he needs in the shortest time, well organized, very clear and has useful examples.
it covers many topics in one book (SQL server, ADO.NET and C# database programming) in a way that makes it easy to do your code without opening too many books.
the only limitation is that it covers only SQL server database programming, I wished if it covers alos Oracle and MySql.
thanks to Jason price
Rating: - Good concise introduction to SQL Server 2000 / C#
This book is a good introductionto SQL server 2000 programming with C#. The author introduces the basics of SQL server in the first part and focuses on the ADO.NET in the second part. I like the format well. Overall a very good book.
Rating: - Great, but not for the beginners
This book is probably the best book in the market if you want to take your novice c# asp.net skills to intermediate/expert level. It provides plenty of good examples and practically all the knowledge you need to become a fully competent c# asp.net developer.
I especially found the chapter on SQL and T-SQL particulary awesome. As a Senior DBA who has worked on SQL for 7 years, I thought the author had superb knowledge of SQL transactions which I rarely see even amongst the SQL books. ... Read More
Rating: - Very helpful
I found this book to be very helpful to me in connecting and using the Microsoft Access database with some Visual Studio C# programming I was struggling with. It is the only book I have found that at all addresses Access and it adequately covers the needed information to make the connection and manipulate data using SQL. Whether you are using Access of SQL2000 and especially if you are struggling I highly recommend this book to you.
