Lynn Beighley is a fiction writer stuck in a technical book writers body. Upon discovering that technical book writing actually paid real money, she learned to accept and enjoy it.
After going back to school to get a Masters in Computer Science, she worked for the acronyms NRL and LANL. Then she discovered Flash, and wrote her first bestseller.
A victim of bad timing, she moved to Silicon Valley just before the great crash. She spent several years working for Yahoo! and writing other books and training courses. Finally giving in to her creative writing bent, she moved to the New York area to get an MFA in Creative Writing.
Her Head First-style thesis was delivered to a packed room of professors and fellow students. It was extremely well received, and she finished her degree, finished Head First SQL, and cant wait to begin her next book.
Lynn loves traveling, cooking, and making up elaborate background stories about complete strangers. Shes a little scared of clowns.

作为入门的书相当的不错,有辅助理解的讲解和例子,同时有有练习题加深记忆。 但作为快速学习的书确不合适,因为为了讲清一个道理,往往太罗嗦。 同时因为扯的东西有点儿多,所以显得有点儿乱,还得自己花时间去整理思路,让知识系统化。 总的说来,有时间可以好好的看看这本书
评分将近600页的书,内容并不多。本书着重基本语法的理解和基本概念的阐释,配合大量的插图,所有的东西都是立体的。穿插在各个章节中的练习题恰到好处地让我巩固了刚刚学到的概念和语法,书中“没有蠢问题”一节解答了好多疑惑并提醒好多细节,确实有画龙点睛之妙。总的感觉...
评分这本书有点特别,看上去完全不像是,在教人如何使用数据库这样高级的工具,但仔细想想,其实数据库离我们的生活如此近,例如手机中的联系人信息,完全可以称之为数据库,只是这个数据库的数据量很小而已,又比如,我们在网上购物的时候,利用搜索功能,得到的结果,也同样是从...
评分今天刚收到货,没想到是英文版,巨郁闷。。,又重新订了一本中文版的,希望物有所值啊~~~ 看了head first这一系列的好几本书,像是数据分析和设计模型,都觉得很不错,很适合初学者。

图书标签: 数据库 sql headfirst 计算机 SQL Database 编程 O'REILLY
Head First SQL is about RDBMS (databases) specifically mySQL (version 5.0 or newer) and includes features of other databases. The book defines a database, demonstrates how to navigate an existing database, and teaches how to create simple and complex databases, as well as how to let a database grow from simple to complex.
Foundational understanding of database construction and navigation is the focus. The target audience is those brand-new to the topic as well as those with an acquaintance with the subject and the need for a greater conceptual understanding of databases.
It focuses on the basics of databases, so the main information should remain pertinent until RMDBS get re-conceived. I think revisions, such as the reprint due out in December, will add to the strength of the book as typos and coding errors will be addressed.
The title accurately describes the contents and the subtitle "A Brain-Friendly Guide" describes the goal of the approach. The only requirements for working with the material are: a computer or access to one, the ability to identify your operating system, familiarity with downloading from the internet (links and instructions are provided in the book and the program mySQL community release is free (download instructions are given for Mac and Windows users, I believe that instructions for Linux are not included with the assumption Linux users can access the mySQL community release page and download the program without a play-by-play)), and the courage to learn a command line window user interface if you don't already know this.
Head First SQL is most useful to those who, like myself, have heard passing references to databases and other than knowing they are important have no grasp of what it is, means, or can do. Also, this will be a helpful tool for those who have some of the verbiage, enough to pass at a cocktail party, but who would feel the cold chill of horror if expected to design, construct, and implement a database in conjunction with any of their paid responsibilities.
This is the first book that I have read on the subject of databases and the first computer book that I have been able to finish. So much of the educational information about program x, language y, or application z, depends on a working knowledge of the other two variables. This is a great book for beginners. It talks about data types, it explains null, and then has null explain himself. It tells me the importance of the semicolon at the end. All basic stuff. All stuff that other books take for granted. Many times when I believed I wasn't absorbing anything, along came questions I could answer, a crossword I could complete and match-column-A-with-column-B exercises that demonstrated that I was actually learning much more than than I was giving myself credit for.
It includes illustrations, photos, clean layout, and bite sized pieces of information. All this comes from the goal of allowing both sides of the brain access to the information. It's exactly the kind of approach that I need to reinforce the terms and concepts as well as provide encouraging feedback to keep me progressing through the material. I'm also grateful that it entertains me and keeps me going back to finish the whole thing long after the first blush of excitement has worn away.
Links, to the mySQL program necessary to work with the material, are included in the book as well as a few other links in the appendices. The Head First website is a must in order to link to the forums, newsletter, blog and downloadable files to create various tables used in the book. Head First came out with a web app called Hands On SQL which I would encourage you to try. It won't work with all of the book's material but it is a good-looking tool.
浅显易懂的数据库入门,head first系列的书直接看英文也很快,不过真的就是入门
评分忙,没时间看完了。
评分Headfirst 系列作者为读者动用了心智的力量啊。。。
评分面向问题的建模是 SQL第一要义——表和表的关系就是SQL的基本模型,围绕建模才有第一范式第二范式,其次是统计分析,再次才是逻辑和增删改查——后两者就是类excel功能。数据库和sql我工作中用的很多,但是,读到这本书的时候,我感觉自己又一次成为一张白纸。
评分艾玛。。自己花了近一个月。。。。不是书内容多。。是自己效率太低了。。书真的很棒~!!!!
