MySQL Weekend Crash Course

Rating:
Summary: Very helpful and got me started in MySQL!
Review: Without this book, I would still be guessing my way through MySQL.

I would describe myself as more of a 'hands-on' web developer, so reading long, lengthy books would not be my cup of tea. Then here comes this book - and boy, did it make a difference. The way it was formatted - as stated in the title, just for a weekend (which works great because it makes you want to actually finish it in a weekend, like I did!), is great and I had the book to pace my speed for me, which I like so that I know this book won't actually take me a few months to complete like some of these bigger books.

In conclusion, I would suggest that all people to want to learn MySQL (and fast!) should pick this book up.
