Because you're going to be bumping up against SQL Server whenever you develop .NET applications, this book is the ideal companion text to all of the books in our .NET series, as listed below.
Murach's C# 2008

Murach's ASP.NET 2.0 Web Programming with C# 2005
Murach's Visual Basic 2008
Murach's Visual Basic 2005
Murach's ASP.NET 2.0 Web Programming with VB 2005
These books teach you how to use Visual Studio and either
C# or VB to create Windows Forms and web applications.
Each one contains a multi-chapter section on database
handling, but our SQL Server book provides the underlying
details that make it even easier for you to understand
and feel confident about handling database data in your
applications.
And it doesn't matter where you start: with the SQL Server book or the language books. Either way, you'll get a clearer view of what each piece of the .NET system is doing...and how to take advantage of Microsoft's built-in tools to create and use SQL queries and SQL Server backend features more easily.
Murach's ADO.NET 2.0 Database Programming with VB 2005
This book shows you how to develop professional database
applications with ADO.NET 2.0 and Visual Basic 2005.*
When you do that, you use ADO.NET objects to pass SQL
statements to the database management system for execution.
That's why our SQL book and our ADO.NET book are the
perfect companions for any VB database programmer.
*This includes the material on database programming that's in our core VB 2005 and ASP.NET 2.0 books, but it goes far beyond that.
Murach's Java SE 6
Murach's Beginning Java 2, JDK 5
Although you're not as likely to use SQL Server as the
database for Java applications, these two editions of
our core Java book both include a chapter on how to
use JDBC to work with any database that's supported
by an OBDC driver. One of those databases, of course,
is SQL Server, and SQL is used within the Java code
to do the database operations.
