I have had no training in Access during college. My career requires an in-depth knowledge of access. I needed a book that could take me from the very beginning to an advanced level and this book does that.
Rating: - Great Book
This is a great book. It was fun to work through and I learned a lot.
Rating: - Access Step by step
This is a good book for someone who is starting and wants to create simple databases, which of course will never be used.
As someone wrote earlier, this book is for parrots or monkeys. It shows you to click buttons.
However, Databases are complex and this book is no help.
We need a better book, which explains the details and at the same time is lucid.
I found that book to be the Missing manual by Mathew Macdonald.
Rating: - 2007 Step by Step
The step by step books are very helpful to me. When I am learning about new software, I need step by step instructions. They are detailed to help me, but not so detailed that I get lost.
Rating: - Missing information
I don't think this book measures up to the previous books in the series.
For example, in Chapter 3 they talk about importing data from a sharepoint service. This takes almost two pages. The trouble is that they don't tell you where to start. The reader is left with a sense that this important stuff but s/he can't get to it. I've found examples of the same thing in Chapters 1-2. Seems like the book got ahead of the product it seeks to describe.
