What Readers Are Saying About

Seven Databases in Seven Weeks
The flow is perfect. On Friday, you’ll be up and running with a new database. On
Saturday, you’ll see what it’s like under daily use. By Sunday, you’ll have learned
a few tricks that might even surprise the experts! And next week, you’ll vault to
another database and have fun all over again.
➤ Ian Dees
Coauthor, Using JRuby
Provides a great overview of several key databases that will multiply your data
modeling options and skills. Read if you want database envy seven times in a row.
➤ Sean Copenhaver
Lead Code Commodore, backgroundchecks.com
This is by far the best substantive overview of modern databases. Unlike the host
of tutorials, blog posts, and documentation I have read, this book taught me why
I would want to use each type of database and the ways in which I can use them
in a way that made me easily understand and retain the information. It was a
pleasure to read.
➤ Loren Sands-Ramshaw
Software Engineer, U.S. Department of Defense
This is one of the best CouchDB introductions I have seen.
➤ Jan Lehnardt
Apache CouchDB Developer and Author


Seven Databases in Seven Weeks is an excellent introduction to all aspects of
modern database design and implementation. Even spending a day in each
chapter will broaden understanding at all skill levels, from novice to expert—
there’s something there for everyone.

➤ Jerry Sievert
Director of Engineering, Daily Insight Group
In an ideal world, the book cover would have been big enough to call this book
“Everything you never thought you wanted to know about databases that you
can’t possibly live without.” To be fair, Seven Databases in Seven Weeks will
probably sell better.
➤ Dr Nic Williams
VP of Technology, Engine Yard

Be Agile
Don’t just “do” agile; you want to be agile. We’ll show you how.

The best agile book isn’t a book: Agile in a Flash is a
unique deck of index cards that fit neatly in your
pocket. You can tape them to the wall. Spread them
out on your project table. Get stains on them over
lunch. These cards are meant to be used, not just read.

Here are three simple truths about software development:
1. You can’t gather all the requirements up front. 2.
The requirements you do gather will change. 3. There
is always more to do than time and money will allow.
Those are the facts of life. But you can deal with those
facts (and more) by becoming a fierce software-delivery
professional, capable of dispatching the most dire of
software projects and the toughest delivery schedules
with ease and grace.
