First I want to thank Mr.Rick Morelan for writing such a valuable book, this is a must buy book for those who has no prior knowledge of SQL this book will teach you in step by step process and the best part is Read, View and Do approach with good practical labs.
I can't wait to buy the other SQL books from Joes 2 Pros Series.

5What an excellent resource. Even a teenager can do this!  Oct 11, 2009
As a seasoned Sr. DBA for a premier global financial institution, I found myself asking a quick question about inner and outer joins and again how a NULL value is treated by them. After a quick Google search I came across a small video, demonstrating a quick answer to my question at [...]. There was an easy style to the author's presentation. The video images were large and clear. After 5 minutes I had my answer and was about to go on my way when I saw other videos. These videos were related to chapters in the authors book, which was prominatly displayed with a free sample of the text. I began to read the forward and immediately identified with the author's recollection of how he got started working with SQL Server. I thought that the author had made the topics so easy to read and understand, skill checks to test yourself, a video demonstration of exactly the steps taken to achieve success, PLUS an explanation of WHY the steps were completed as demonstrated. What else could a person want, short of a dedicated one on one session with the author, of how to learn T-SQL. So I decided to teach my kids a little bit about what I do for a job, and give them something to pursue if they liked what I was about to expose them to. This book has been the foundation of a Sunday afternnon, one hour class, with three teenagers. Starting on chapter 1, reading the text, watching the videos, doing the skill checks, and actually writing SQL code, they have astounded me with their comprehension of the material. By the end of chapter two(completed today), the kids (15, 14 and 12) are writing TSQL queries both mentally and inside SSMS that amazes me. They could almost pass a job interview as junior development DBA (DBAD), with the knowledge they'v gained so far. All by chapter 2!! By chapter 4 they will have enough knowledge to perform 70% of my report writing TSQL job as a Sr DBA! What a terrific product! If you are just beginning the journey of learning SQL, do yourself a big favor and don't buy anything else to start out with. In 10 years of earning a living through my knowledge of SQL, this book would have saved me years of research, hunting for answers all over the web, plus, this book will get me to a point where I can take the Microsoft Certification for SQL Server 2008. A heartfelt Thank You to the author for all the work in presenting this material in such a terrific fashion. You've got a customer for life!

5Best SQL Book Ever Created  Sep 30, 2009
This is the best SQL book I've read, it really helped me clarify some questions I had with SQL. Many educational books are too wordy that you dread having to pick it up and read it, because it takes forever. Joes 2 Pros is simple, but down to the point. It has nice text size, and includes downloadable videos, Labs, Answers, and a Bug Catcher where you have to find what is wrong with the code. This is one book I did not want to put down, I call this a must buy.

5Joes 2 Pros  Aug 29, 2009
This book is written in a simple, easy-to-understand way to take you from a novice to an experienced user of SQL. As a teacher, I would say it takes you from simple to complex - adding new concepts to what you have already learned. I would recommend this book for anyone who needs to learn how to put together and manage a data base. Wonderful.

5T-SQL 2008 Joes to Pros  Aug 03, 2009
Wow! This book is PERFECT for the beginner. It was so easy to follow and the examples were really clear. Other books say they help beginners then load you up the expert jargon right away. This book just adds everything at the right time as you go. I read chapter 1 and got it and knew I was on to something. From there it just got better. The print is big and readable and the screen pictures are so clear. The videos on [...] were a big help too. Nice work! Thank you!
