There is no better intro guide to the MySQL platform than this book. You get 300+ pages full of exercises and examples showing how MySQL works and why it’s such a popular database.

MySQL Explained is ultimately a step-by-step guide to MySQL. It does use plenty of SQL syntax but the real goal of this book is to familiarize the reader with general database theory. I actually recommend this to any web developer who wants to move into backend development because the writing is so clear and detailed.

You don’t even need to know much(or any) SQL to get by. It certainly helps, but this book was made for non-techies who need to understand relational databases. The early chapters literally define what a database is and how it functions. Can’t get more basic than that!

MySQL is also one of the top 3 databases in use worldwide and it’s an open source platform so it’s a great tool to study for database theory.

This book is absolutely perfect for anyone who needs a more rounded understanding of databases in action. The writing style is easy to follow and the guided nature of the book takes you along from one page to the next.
