MySQL Crash Course: A Hands-on Introduction to Database Development

At work I do the same couple of things over and over in SQL, so I wanted something to supplement an online SQL course I am taking to increase my overall SQL knowledge. This book has been an excellent resource that is easy to read and follow along with that is full of great examples. Plus it arrived in great shape which is nice since it is a paperback.

I thought databases were boring until I read this book. It's a must-have. It's very good, explaining super interesting things in a very friendly way without losing depth. I highly recommend it! The quality of the printing and the pages is excellent.
