The Manga Guide to Databases capitalizes on the international manga phenomenon. This first in a series of EduManga titles from No Starch Press (co-published with Ohmsha, Ltd. of Japan) uses manga to teach the reader about databases. Rather than learning from a dry textbook, readers follow the animated adventures of Tico the Database Fairy (picture an anime Tinkerbell) as she interacts with a colorful cast of characters. Combining technical information with fun stories and illustration, the book covers a thorough array of foundational database knowledge including relational databases, database design, E-R models, SQL, operations, and more. Other titles in the series will cover topics like statistics, electricity, and physics.
