Overpromises and Under-delivers
14 Nov 2001
Format:Hardcover
I was originally going to purchase only the book - "SQL Queries for Mere Mortals". However, when I noticed that this set packaged the book with a Multimedia CD, I thought it offered the best of 2 worlds: (1) the book as a reference; and (2) the multimedia guide to pull me through the materials. The book is good. The CD-ROM under-delivers. First, it will not install on a Windows ME system. It does install on Win98. The CD has 5 parts: (1) static Web pages where you read information; (2) Assessments that allow you to test your knowledge of a subject (I liked this feature); (3) "Multimedia segments" -- no video, instead an audio file plays, a cryptic diagram shows on a pop-up Web page, and you see a section of code (this was the greatest disapointment -- after all -- when you hear "multimedia" you think video training or something with more pizzazz); (4) Search feature; (5) Resources -- all 3 of them -- the user guide, the book that you already bought as part of the package, and the credits.
Perhaps if you have the right expectation, this will be a good resource. Afterall, the book and the online assessment is good. However, I would purchase the book separately and save the money on the "multimedia" CD.

Don't waste your money
29 Aug 2004
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
First off Amazon won't let anyone give minus stars! I should have listened to "thestudent" review. The book is great but the software is as funcitonal as the nipples on a man's chest. It will not run on XP Pro with SP2 installed. The new pop up blocker M$ has installed can't be turned off and blocks all of the alleged multimedia. I went to the publishers website and guess what....they haven't updated a darn one of their "Interactive" products since 2001!!!!! Hello here its 2004. The book is great the software belongs in the trash! Get the book....burn the software. Mr. Hernandez get a new publisher or have them pull this product. Quite frankly your veracity is on the line for not having having an updated verson nor getting the publisher to advise potential buyers of what I have mentioned.
