5.0 out of 5 stars
Great overview for low- and mid-priced web-db tools
This book does an excellent job of comparing and contrasting a number of inexpensive or moderately priced web database tools. It also provides a great overview of web databases and web-db technology. The best part is that the author builds the same two projects in every tool covered in the book (Filemaker, ASP, ColdFusion) to provide a good comparison for how the...

Not worth it

5.0 out of 5 stars
Worth it,
By Chris Wynne (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Choosing a Database for Your Web Site (Paperback)
Good for novices and seasoned geeks alike, the author deals with the potentially tricky subject matter in a clear, thorough and authoritative way. Starting from first principles of database design, SQL etc, the focus soon moves on to detailed reviews of a number of the most popular tools and technologies available.The book also has a companion website which is intended to keep the content up to date - a great idea but regrettably does not deliver on this promise. All in all a worthwhile book and very valuable first resource for anyone needing direction in adding database functionality to their websites. Well worth the time and money.
