Very good book for both DB Novices and Professionals
It has been awhile since I programmed with databases, so I was looking for a book to help me both refresh and advance my skill set. James Huddleston's 'Beginning C# 2005 Databases, From Novice to Professional' is such a book. Having some former experience with DBs, the first 9 chapters are both a quick read and refresher. The How It Works were useful and very clear. The later chapters, especially 13 (Exceptions), 15 (Events), and 17 (XML) in relation to C#, were helpful. The last chapter offers a look into the future with LINQ. I would like to thank Mr. Huddleston for writing this book.
