Reviews

I purchased your book, MySQL Tutorial and read it in about a week. I am a computer hobbyist and not a programmer. I found it very easy to read and it got me up and running quickly, though I do have a small bit of knowledge about some other databases. It did not frustrate me like some tutorials do. You seem to have accomplished the mission. Well done.
