MySQL Crash Course
A hands-on introduction to relational database development with MySQL, covering SQL fundamentals through stored procedures, triggers, and events in three guided projects.
MySQL Crash Course walks beginner and intermediate database developers from installing MySQL through core SQL (queries, joins, data types) and on to stored procedures, triggers, and events, using three hands-on projects — weather, voter, and salary data — to practice each concept. Published by No Starch Press in 2023, it’s aimed at readers who want a fast, practical path into MySQL rather than a full DBA reference.
