Database Design Using Entity-Relationship Diagramsby Sikha Bagui; Richard Earp
Auerbach Publications 2003; US$ 79.95
Database Design Using Entity-Relationship Diagrams clarifies ER diagram design by defining it in terms of requirements (end user requests) and specifications (designer feedback to that request). The book emphasizes how communication between designers and users during design is crucial for the elicitation of targeted data, and for the creation of an understandable ER diagram. The authors describe how to develop an ER diagram, how to map it to a database, and how the resulting database can be tested. This definitive guide is a beneficial component of any database course and is a strong supplement for any database professional unfamiliar with ER design. more...

Macromedia ColdFusion MX Development, Adobe Readerby Eric Ladd
Pearson Education 2002; US$ 31.99
This is the eBook version of the printed book. From his teaching experience, the author has found that students learn best by seeing several sample CF scripts and the output those scripts produce. This approach helps students set up the associations between the scripted instructions and what those instructions actually do. The author offers lots of example code that is well-commented, is discussed thoroughly prior to its introduction, and is associated with a screen capture that shows the code�s output. This three-point methodology links how-to discussions with actual CF output in a visual, comprehendible manner. In the case studies, readers learn to build a corporate intranet directory, a conference registration site, and an online... more...
