Summary: Overpromises and Under-delivers
Comment: 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.
