Comprehensive Database Practice: MS Access 2013: with optional barcode scanners and NFC reader integration.

This book presents a unique method to learning database development using active learning approach. Students follow the case of a business database system of a grocery store from the start all the way to the complete operational system. The introduction of barcode and NFC readers being optional nonetheless greatly enhance the experience and interest in the subject. This book would make excellent companion to many database books that focus on the theory and less on the application. "In my 16 years of teaching in higher education, I have noticed students understand database theory better once they use database in application. Case study practice helps students understand abstract concepts such as entities, tables, attributes, primary keys, foreign keys, relationships and other database concepts and terms better." - Dr. Fadi Safieddine
