Review

Following this series' trademark combination of step-by-step tutorials and tables full of reference material, Teach Yourself Database Programming with JDBC in 21 Days does a fine job of preparing you to take on a new assignment involving JDBC. True mastery won't come until many more days of JDBC programming have passed and you'll soon want a more advanced reference book to guide you beyond this book. However, Hobbs's book is a fine way to get your feet wet.

The first two weeks of this self-paced course are academic--day by day, you study one or more new concepts, components, or objects. In these two weeks, you learn about the essentials of JDBC--establishing connections and the like. Each chapter--covering topics such as transactions, SQL statements, and result sets--concludes with a quiz, which you can use to gauge your progress through the book. During the final week, when your new knowledge is beginning to gel, you actually write two database applications. The first, a "knowledge base" program, illustrates general JDBC techniques by enabling you to query a database for articles. The second, an "employee resource" program for tracking employee data, mainly shows how things in Java 1.1 differ from Java 1.0--a sort of dated distinction. In any case, it's these guided examples and the source code on the companion CD-ROM that make this book good.
