Is This Book for You?

This book was written for a wide range of people within the beginner to intermediate range. Obviously, this book is for anyone wanting to use MySQL in some capacity, but I specifically had in mind three general types of readers:

• Those who have never used any database before

• Those who have used other databases and want to know how MySQL specifically operates

• Those who are currently using MySQL in a limited capacity and would like to elevate their skills to a more professional level

I should note that I will not teach any programming languages here but rather demonstrate how to use those languages with MySQL.
