Excellent for beginning SQL developers

I'm a junior web developer, and I've found this book to be very useful. The explanations are concise and very clear. Great book for beginning-to-intermediate SQL Server 2005 development.

Great format and book for beginners to SQL Server

If you're new to SQL Server, the format of this book could not be better or reading it cover to cover. It's designed (as Murach's other books) in a style to indroduce a small concept per page and give you an excercise to try it yourself. I recommend this book to all beginners to the technology but not necessarily if you have a lot of experience in the field already.

A book for teaching how to write SQL for SQL Server 2005

I read Murach's SQL Server 2005 for Developers while looking for a book for teaching a class on SQL. Since the course is going to use SQL Server it seemed like an obvious fit. It is. This is a targeted book for the professional course on writing SQL for SQL Server 2005. I suppose it could be used for learning SQL for other databases but it does a pretty good job of hitting all the SQL Server specific variations in SQL that make up T-SQL. I also suppose that it could be used for self directed study. Like the rest of the Murach books, it has a side by side format with explanation and related examples. Since there's plenty of room for Lab work, it really fits the classroom well. Overall I'm happy with the book and don't have any real criticism. It is what it tries to be. A book for teaching SQL for SQL Server 2005.

Great Guide to SQL Server for Developers (not DBAs)

Just like the name states, this book is a great window into the world of SQL Server database programming (and even design and some administration) targeting developers. This is especially useful today, when developers are asked to do more diverse tasks as part of their every day responsibilities. The tone of the book and its organization and paired page layout are very conducive to learning at any level, and the topics covered are varied enough to ensure a well-rounded learning experience, regardless of the reader's background.

Great Book for SQL Developers

Murach continues using the "paired pages" format. How-to on the left page and examples on the right. This style contributes to the effectivness of the learning process. Although the Manangement Studio is covered, the book is primary a great source for the developer who needs to integrate a client application with SQL Server. Topics covered are an introduction to SQL, data retrieveal including inserts, updates, and deletes, database design and implementation, and CLR integration. This book is great for learning the skills to be an effective SQL developer.
