Written for both Linux and Windows developers

Matthew Stucky's MySQL: Building User Interfaces is a 656 page companion volume to Paul DuBois' MySQL, written for both Linux and Windows developers and designed to teach the reader how to implement and handle the transition issues in moving to the MySQL database by presenting valuable insight from his experience with different companies. MySQL: Building User Interfaces starts by introducing the functionality of GTK+ and how to migrate from Microsoft's Visual Basic. It then introduces MySQL as a simple, fast, reliable database for corporate applications. It then transitions into the how-to of combining GTK+ and MySQL through the coverage of the C API for MySQL because it is the "backend" to a GTK+ application. A very highly recommended instructional reference MySQL: Building User Interfaces also covers heterogeneous network and deployment issues, as well as migration from existing systems to MySQL.
