Authors: Kathy Sierra, Bert Bates
Rating: 5/5
Customer opinion - 5 stars out of 5
Great book


This book is not a comprehensive study guide. You will need significant other resources to help you prepare for the exam properly. There is virtually no coverage of assignment conversion, method invocation conversion or numerical promotion.
If your planning to take the test this book is not enough, look for more study resources and practice exams on the Internet.

Absolutely Brilliant!


I found The Guru's Guide to be one of the best computer books I've ever had the privilege to read. It is not just another computer book. It's a deep, insightful, provocative treatise on the language, and I'll be using it for years to come. I think these parts deserve special mention:
* Quotes: each chapter begins with a thoughtful quote. These quotes have a lot to say about the industry as well as learning T-SQL. I think they add a special 'spice' to the book.
* P&T chapter: the chapter on performance and tuning is worthy of its own book. It's a catalog of all the things you can do to speed up your code.
* Undocumented chapter: the secrets revealed by this chapter are true gems. I'm already using many of them.
* Cursors chapter: I liked the story from the trenches about the conversion. I can empathize with the author. It can be frustrating to work with poor developers.
Overall, I'd say this is the best investment you can make with your SQL Server dollar. I like this book even better than Inside SQL Server, which is saying something.
