Beginning SQL Server 2005 for Developers: From Novice to Professional Review by Daniel McKinnon
Beginning SQL Server Book
'Beginning SQL Server 2005 for Developers: From Novice to Professional' by Robin Dewson is a nice guide for someone new to working with SQL Server. While the content within is alright, I feel there are better books out there on the market for introducing this concept to developers. The title of this book says 'SQL Server 2005' but I don't find a lot of specific examples within, the chapter breakup is odd at times (chapter 8 is HUGE compared to all the others -- 14 in total), and I just don't care for the layout or writing that much.
It's not a bad book, but it's not great either. Pick this up if you like Apress books, else look elsewhere.
