Are you a .NET programmer? Do you wish you knew SQL better than you do? This is not uncommon. Many programmers know just enough SQL to get the job done. They know how to perform basic SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE statements but very little beyond that. After all why should they? They can write everything else they need to do using one of the .NET languages. In SQL For .NET Programmers, Dave Bush not only explains why you should learn SQL but walks through the common types of SQL you should be able to write as a programmer.
