The Manga Guide to Databases
by Rattle at 1:33 pm EDT, Jul 2, 2009 |
 Want to learn about databases without the tedium? With its unique combination of Japanese-style comics and serious educational content, The Manga Guide to Databases is just the book for you. Princess Ruruna is stressed out. With the king and queen away, she has to manage the Kingdom of Kod's humongous fruit-selling empire. Overseas departments, scads of inventory, conflicting prices, and so many customers! It's all such a confusing mess. But a mysterious book and a helpful fairy promise to solve her organizational problems-with the practical magic of databases. In The Manga Guide to Databases, Tico the fairy teaches the Princess how to simplify her data management. We follow along as they design a relational database, understand the entity-relationship model, perform basic database operations, and delve into more advanced topics. Once the Princess is familiar with transactions and basic SQL statements, she can keep her data timely and accurate for the entire kingdom. Finally, Tico explains ways to make the database more efficient and secure, and they discuss methods for concurrency and replication.
If Billy wrote a script for The Hentai Guide to Web Security, I'm sure we could find someone to illustrate it. Just imagine having SQL injection explained by a school girl and a tentacle monster.... |

I suppose it show how little I like Manga: The first thing I thought when I saw this was "is that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comic_sans_ms>Comic Sans MS?</a>" |

I probably couldn't get past having to read those Manga Guides from left to right. It'd be like eating sushi with a fork. Rattle wrote:

Maybe you could work out a marketing partnership. "Just kick back with your Hentai Guide and a refreshing bottle of Tentacle Grape." |
