The Husband Habit

Why does Vanessa keep falling for married men? It's not that she plans to. But every man who seems like he might be the one turns out to be someone else's. So maybe the right thing to do is take a vow to stay single, to keep away from all men, until she can figure things out. At least work is a haven: Vanessa loses herself in her job as a chef, except when her grandstanding boss, Hawk--of Albuquerque's chic Nuevo American restaurant hawk--takes credit for her creations. But then, it is his name on the awning above the door. If only her friends and family would get on board with Vanessa's plan and stop trying to fix her up. If she can't fix her life, nobody else is going to get the chance to try--not her parents, not her friends and certainly not her ultra-well-meaning but just-not-getting-it sister Larissa. Vanessa stays focused by helping out at her parents' house--all with her loyal pet Red Dog by her side. Red Dog is all the companionship she needs. Until Vanessa meets Paul, her parents' neighbor--he's all wrong on paper, but he's a gentleman and seems safe. And there's definitely chemistry. But just when Vanessa's guard goes down, the red flag goes up: could Paul be yet another married man? Bursting with Valdes-Rodriguez' trademark wit and originality, The Husband Habit introduces a rich and complex heroine in chef Vanessa. You're not going to want to leave her world when the novel comes to an end. This description may be from another edition of this product.

Nice story-telling style to explain the do's and don'ts

A few years ago I bought the first edition of this book. It had a meaningful classification of the suggested best practices and each of them was presented in a consistent way e.g. Title, Example, Benefits, and Challenges. As the technology evolved (and the links mentioned were not there anymore), I bought this second edition expecting an update in the available tools to support the best practices and probably one or two chapters...

Well worth the price

1. I do not follow every practice in this book.2. Only some of those I don't follow do I think I should follow.3. All of the practices strike me as at least arguable.It does what it sets out to do. I believe that it will help the reader use PL/SQL more effectively. In the next edition, I'd like to see a section on unit testing, using the utPLSQL system that Feuerstein is managing the development of.

Excellent resource for new or experienced PL/SQL programmers

I found this book to be an excellent (re-)introduction to good programming practices in PL/SQL. After reading the first few pages a little defensively ("I don't make those sorts of mistakes do I?") I soon realised that there was much to learn in this book as well as much that I had forgotten. This book has lead to an instant improvement in the quality of my PL/SQL code. I particularly like the Quick Reference card in the...

Wisdom in a Package

I have been an avid reader of Steven's books ever since I started learning PL/SQL as part of my career in Oracle. Without a doubt he is an authority on this proprietary language from Oracle and has a vast repository of code that he can proudly claim his own. This book is ideal for those who have experience working with applications built on Oracle. You may have encountered situations in which you probably chose an approach...
