Steve;

Books, books, so many books to read and which one or ones should I buy? Try to get ten developers to agree on anything and that will be an accomplishment!

I had the Wrox book and I donated it to my local public library. I just have so much space in my world and get rid of books I do not need. The Microsoft book is O.K. My favorite is the Murach’s “SQL for SQL Server”. Oh yes, I also took the Microsoft classroom course 2073A. I think there are better ways to learn than taking that course. Even the Wrox book is better.

We all know there is one good sentence (sometimes more) in any computer technical book that makes it worth the price of the book. My wife would kill me if I bought all the books I want! At $60 a pop for most books you will be broke in no time trying to get enough useful sentences to make a paragraph! :)

P.S. Wrox lives! They were bought by Wiley some time ago.

>Hello everyone,

>I need a good SQL server book or 2. I'd probably like one that focuses on T-SQL. The first one I get doesn't need to. Won't only be using VFP as the client, so does not need to come from that perspective.

>Any opinions on:

>Professional SQL Server 2000 Programming (by the now non-existant Wrox Press)
>Inside Microsoft SQL Server 2000 (Microsoft Press)

>Any recommendations, for or against a particular book, are appreciated...
