Seven Languages in Seven Weeks Bruce A. Tate |
The flow is perfect. On Friday, you’ll be up and running with a new database. On Saturday, you’ll see what it’s like under daily use. By Sunday, you’ll have learned a few tricks that might even surprise the experts! And next week, you’ll vault to another database and have fun all over again.
Provides a great overview of several key databases that will multiply your data modeling options and skills. Read if you want database envy seven times in a row.
This is by far the best substantive overview of modern databases. Unlike the host of tutorials, blog posts, and documentation I have read, this book taught me why I would want to use each type of database and the ways in which I can use them in a way that made me easily understand and retain the information. It was a pleasure to read.
This is one of the best CouchDB introductions I have seen.
In an ideal world, the book cover would have been big enough to call this book “Everything you never thought you wanted to know about databases that you can’t possibly live without.” To be fair, “Seven Databases in Seven Weeks” will probably sell better.
‘Seven Databases in Seven Weeks’ is an excellent introduction to all aspects of modern database design and implementation. Even spending a day in each chapter will broaden understanding at all skill levels, from novice to expert— there’s something there for everyone.
