- pkalinowski 7y agoThis is really nice book. It assumes you are a developer/good with computers, though, so some of the things like dev environment setup are ommited
- tbrock 7y agoAs it should be; I dislike when books are dogmatic a out setup. Those pages are usually out of date at by the time the book is in print.
- culopatin 7y agoDoes it assume I know SQL though?
- pkalinowski 7y agoNo, you can start with absolutely zero knowledge, but it has different approach than usual courses. You don't start with simple selects, but importing data from files and normalizing it. You're intern at aerospace startup after all. I'd say it's _refreshing_ compared to prevalent approach to teaching SQL
