UNIX for Dummies
by John R. Levine
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

UNIX for Dummies
By John R. Levine, Margaret Levine Young

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Publisher: For Dummies
Number Of Pages: 408
Publication Date: 2004-01-30
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0764541471
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780764541476
Binding: Paperback
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amazon.com:

The title of this book invites comment. "Some things weren't meant for dummies and Unix is one of them," you might say. Wrong! Levine and Young take advantage of the Dummies format's strength with command-line operating systems. They flatten the learning curve and have even the greenest beginner doing useful work with Unix in mere hours.

Once you get past a couple of pointless chapters about offering pizza to Unix experts in exchange for help, you'll find conceptual explanations of files, directories, permissions, and redirection. Command explanations take a hybrid form; they mix "type this verbatim" statements with tables showing switches and parameters.

Much of Unix for Dummies is task-oriented. You'll find a whole chapter on printing, for example, that covers the commands you'll need to know to format and print a document on the right printer. Other chapters cover file searches, software installation, and X Windows navigation. The book also provides cursory coverage of four text editors--ED, vi, Emacs, and pico--but you learn little more than how to enter and save text in each.

Levine and Young include an eminently useful "DOS-to-Unix Rosetta Stone" that immediately tells you, for example, that the approximate Unix equivalent of DOS's copy is cp. DOS experts who are new transplants to a Unix environment will appreciate this translation guide. The authors wrap up with a wealth of basic troubleshooting information and a command reference.

This book, along with its companion, More Unix for Dummies, is the perfect choice for those who have no knowledge of Unix and need to learn it quickly.

Book Description:
UNIX For Dummies has been the standard for beginning UNIX references for nearly ten years, and this latest edition continues that tradition of success
This unparalled resource is updated to cover the latest applications of UNIX technology, including Linux and Mac desktops as well as how UNIX works with Microsoft server software
Thorough coverage of how to handle UNIX installation, file management, software, utilities, networks, Internet access, and other basic tasks
Aimed at the first-time UNIX desktop user growing accustomed to the ins and outs of the OS, as well as the beginning administrator who needs to get a handle on UNIX networking basics
Written by John Levine and Margaret Levine Young, longtime UNIX experts and highly experienced For Dummies authors

SQL for Dummies

Publication Date: 2003-08-08
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0764540750
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780764540752
Binding: Paperback
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amazon.com:
This is the rare case of a book that can take you from a beginner to an advanced-intermediate level. Like many of the books in IDG's Dummies series, this volume begins with a definition ("What is SQL?") and ends with "The Part of Tens," a collection of tips in a top ten list form. Taylor writes in a breezy, entertaining style that SQL novices will find inviting. One caveat: The examples are given in Borland's Delphi, a rapid application development (RAD) tool. Some sections show several screen shots from Delphi and it may be difficult to follow along in these sections if you don't have the program in front of you. As with other Dummies books, SQL for Dummies is entertaining to read although the nonstop jokes may distract some readers from the
technical content.

Book Description:
Many database management system (DBMS) tools run on a variety of hardware platforms. The differences among the tools can be many, but all serious products have one thing in common: They support data access and manipulation in SQL, the industry-standard language specifically designed to enable people to create and manage databases. If you know SQL, you can build relational databases and get useful information out of them.

Relational database management systems are vital to many organizations. People often think that creating and maintaining these systems are extremely complex activities – the domain of database gurus who possess enlightenment beyond that of ordinary mortals. Well, SQL For Dummies, 5th Edition, sweeps away the database mystique.

Written in easy-to-understand terms and updated with the latest information on SQL, this handy reference shows you step-by-step how to make your database designs a reality using SQL:2003. But you don't have to be a database newbie to find value in SQL For Dummies, 5th Edition; even if you have some experience designing and creating databases, you may discover a few things you didn't know about.

Here's just a sampling of some of the things you'll find covered in SQL For Dummies, 5th Edition:

Exploring relational database and SQL fundamentals
Building and maintaining a simple database structure
Building a multiple relational database
Manipulating database data
Examining SQL nuts and bolts: values, expressions, operators, and queries
Providing database security and protecting your data
Exploring ODBC and JDBC, and using SQL with XML
Moving beyond the basics: cursors, persistent stored modules, and error-handling
Top Ten lists on common SQL mistakes and retrieval tips
Plain and simply, databases are the best tools ever invented for keeping track of the things you care about. After you understand databases and can use SQL to make them do your bidding, you wield tremendous power. SQL For Dummies, 5th Edition, can get you well on your way to harnessing the power of databases.
