As a moderately experienced SQL Server developer, I find the book useful as an exam prep beause it briefly reviews and previews the information, although it relies on the reader already being somewhat familiar with the subject. For example, the text explanations and code snippets are good, but there are very few screenshots or other figures. ...             Access 2007: The Missing Manual15 reviews Matthew MacDonald Pogue Press, 2006 Excellent!

This one seems like a good starting point to the entire series, and it only shows a single facet - the dimensional ...             FileMaker Pro 9: The Missing Manual17 reviews Geoff Coffey, Susan Prosser O'Reilly Media, 2007 Best Filemaker Pro Book Around!!!
