Book Sale
If you haven't picked up a copy of Pro MySQL, Barnes and Noble has a great deal on a selection of books called "Web Coding Tools." Between now and August 9th you can get 40% off these books.
That makes Pro MySQL $29.99 ($26.99 for members), not a bad price. You can order online if a physical B & N isn't an option. If there's a store nearby and you can get a photo of the special display these books are in there may be an iPod nano in it for you.
I took a trip to the downtown Boston Barnes and Noble yesterday to see for myself but they've closed that location. Bummer.

Thanks for the tip.
If you don't have Mike and Jay's Pro MySQL, you are missing out a lot. This is one of the best books ever written on MySQL and as Brian Aker says in the foreword, reading this book will put a smile on your face.
Thank you Mike (and Jay) for a work well written.

I agree with Frank, I was lucky enough to recieve a free preview copy for evaluation and I was seriously impressed. We have used the book a number of times here at work and found it to be an invaluable addition to our library, so much so that I convinced the boss to buy his own copy so I could take mine home again.
