Ebook Free Download | Hands-On Microsoft Access: A Practical Guide to Improving Your Access Skills by Bob Schneider | If you are new to database concept and design and are looking for a title to teach you about Microsoft Access as your database solution, then this is a good book. Readers are not expected to initially know much more than how to open Access and poke around, and are guided thru database construct concepts, table development, table relationship organization, and basic queries, to the application development utilizing internal forms and reports. The chapters logically build on themselves so you always have a working foundation for the next concept introduced. Information is presented hands-on, requiring the reader to develop the sample database as they read the book instead of relying on either the Microsoft provided Northwind database, or an author provided finished solution. Chapters are concluded with "case examples" where you are able to step by step further apply what was just covered, helping to solidify the information.
For a book of this size, the information is fairly complete for the beginner, and by the end of the book one can understand and create relatively complex Access database applications. To be fair, if you are looking to "specialize" in Microsoft Access, this will not be the last title on the subject you buy. What you will not find in the chapters is a complete overview of the Access flavor of SQL, in-depth coverage of advanced query types (they are introduced), in-depth macro development (macros are discussed), or VBA development. All of this is fine as they are complex topics and go beyond the scope of this book.
It is important to keep in mind that this is a book on Microsoft Access-specific database application development, and not on databases in general, not in programming, not on the industry standard SQL language, not in using Access databases in web pages or other applications, and not a "secrets" style book where you might expect to be shown the secret handshake that makes Access into something more powerful than it is. Purchase this book if you're goal is to learn and master the basics of Microsoft Access; the information is there, well presented, and well worth the time to study.
