This review is from: The Revolutionary Guide to Paradox (Paperback)

I work for a not-for-profit agency which was using a paradox 4.5 database to manage a complex, multilevel system of data collection and reporting. The woman who originally programmed our system was not around, and I literally learned to operate Paradox with THIS BOOK in one hand, while tapping on the keyboard with the other. Before I used this book, I didn't even know what a database was.

This is virtually the only manual I have ever used which I would recommend. I have had very bad luck with instruction manuals (for just about every computer product) before, most of them are only useful as doorstops. But if you want complete information presented step-by-step, very clearly, this is a great book.

Since using this book, I have actually begun to do some freelance work as a database programmer. I know it sounds corny, but it is TRUE...
