 Data Modeling Made Simple: A Practical Guide for Business and IT Professionals, 2nd Edition (Take It With You) $44.95 I have taught data modeling at local colleges from thick, expensive books. I wish I had used this one instead. The examples begin with business cards and ice cream cones -- things people know -- instead of dropping the reader into the middle a major corporation. The writing style is simple, clean and chatty. Each chapter ends with a list of the key points, so you check yourself. What surprised me is how much he covered without giving you the feeling that you were being buried by too much technical stuff at once. In short, the title was accurate -- it really did make Data Modeling simple!  Data Warehouse and Business Intelligence Architecture Design eCourse $695.00 Our DW/BI Architecture Design eCourse provides you with the various design and implementation techniques to help you successfully improve and deploy Business Intelligence Reporting and Analysis Architectures within an integrated Data Warehouse environment. Now you can have a 20 year veteran and expert teach you all you need to know about the Data Warehouse and Business Intelligence Architecture Design characteristics.  The DAMA Dictionary of Data Management (Take It With You) $44.95 Just received this and it is okay but $44 seems like a lot to pay for a PDF file. The first link I tried to reach via this book [...] was no longer working so that did not create a great impression either. Also this disk should be shrink wrapped. It was just in an envelope and the disk was sliding out in the box it was shipped in. Luckily it was not damaged but certainly could have been. |
