I really liked this book ! There were a lot of topics that treated and from which I learned new things like: ADO.NET, stored procedures, transactions, Windows Forms, Data readers, ASP.NET etc. Although it didn't go too deep in exploring them, the explanations were very clear, with screen shots at every step, with "how it works" for every example. The end was a little bit too sudden and unexpected and made me wonder if maybe I miss some pages, but I guess not.

Overall, it was indeed a very good and instructive beginning for databases, even a nice and enjoyable one!
