Title: Professional SQL Server 7.0 Programming

Authors: Rob Vieira
Rating: 5/5
Beginners: Don't be scared off by the 'Professional' in the title! This is the best book available because it actually teaches SQL programming in a few chapters (and that's all it SHOULD take).Intermediates: This book is your best bet to develop for SQL Server. Go beyond the basics and learn what you've been missing. (IMPORTANT: not much about administration is covered, but Robert makes it very clear that that is not his goal.)Professionals: Once you get past Chapter 8 (Normalization), you'll be in the territory you got the book for: SPROCs, extended stored procedures, security, data transformation, English Query... the list goes on.The great thing about all of this is that the book reads like a textbook (for beginners) but has great referential information (for professionals). I have come across very few, if any books that are able to appeal to this broad of an audience.

I wish I could give this book 10 stars because I would. It is by far the best SQL Server book I have seen. I have something like two dozen SQL Server books - Inside SQL Server, Transact-SQL Programming, many others - and this is the most useful I have found.

I thought this was a great book. I'm an intermittant PHP programmer, and this book helped solidify my foundation, and taught me how to apply PHP in ways I'd never thought of. Its reference section actually has useful examples, and all the explanations in the book are laser-focused and dead on. The author clearly knows his stuff - not just how to use PHP, but has a deep understanding of the subject. I strongly recommend this book.

I have been out from the html league for quite some time and I needed to catch up with the new kids on the block. PHP, I didn't know a thing about it or how to implement with html. A friend of mine, as a hobby he started to use php and he told me it was easy to use. I wasn't sure to how to use it until I bought this excellent book. It explains it like if you were on class. Easy examples that every programmer should do as practice and change a few things to get the full experience. Every exercise will be a prerequisite to do the next one. I have fun and learn. As an extra, you can learn mySQL and essential tool to put php together.
