SQL for Zombies released

Alex Pineda (@alexrpineda) has released an eBook called SQL for Zombies. Check out the details below and follow the link to buy a copy.

The world is full boring, dry, programming books. SQL For Zombies turns this idea on its head, with an entertaining story and take on learning SQL.

Structured Query Learning (or SQL) is a programming language used to communicate with databases. Who uses SQL? Google, Facebook, WordPress, and almost any Content Management System (the power behind every blog!) The applications of SQL are endless.

But this book is not suitable for humans.

Together with the Zombie Instructor you will hack hospital databases in search of brains. You’ll use it as a super power search language to dig into mountains of data. You’ll also learn how to update data in case of emergencies.

Learn by executing actual SQL in your own test database. This step-by-step tutorial isn’t just an interactive adventure – lives are at stake!
