Hi mar0364,
I agree with you. It is a nice book to start with.
This is a good start too:

Hi Mark,
You remember that I like SQL.
SAMS books are really good, they can be a good start.

Hi,
Right for starters.
There is the Bible editions of computer books, the developer edition ...etc for advanced.
Reference will be used for advanced users who are looking for a certain info.
Some reference books come as tutorials too, but some are alphabetically ordered by the reference case.

I have
" The Waite Group - Turbo C++ Bible" by SAMS.
Believe it not, what a piece of crap!! It left nothing but questions in my mind, did not cover anything but the basic' s and just sits in my library.
It just goes to show you, you never know what you get when you buy it.
As a matter of fact, the more I think about it... I have 4 assorted 1200+ page manuals from SAMS on C++. And the EXACT same content was covered in each book. They varied from each other at all. This pissed me off. At $65.00 a pop, thats $260.00 plus tax and shipping... for basically the same thing.
THAT' s a NEGATIVE...

Hi Mark,
Since we are talking about SQL.
Oracle has SQL+ and PL/SQL
SQL Server 2000 has SQL, but what is the programming language of SQL 2000 server. Is it only SQL or it has it' s own (might be VB).

Mark,
Right, right, right.
Few years ago when we purchased Windows, Office (at work) we received a very nice and elegant package that has a set of Floppies, a set of CDs and very good manuals, nice tutorials and references.
Lately we received only CDs and a link from where to download a reference.
I have lot of e-books but I don' t like to read. Or you can use e-books but you need another computer for that, you read on one computer and practice on the other.
Lot of online reading hurt the eyes.
Thanks LLL

Hi Mark,
It is annoying specially if there are images and you have to click on the image link to see it.

Hi,
