| Relational Theory for Computer Professionals Posted: 10 Jun 2013 08:21 AM PDT 
Book Description All of today's mainstream database products support the SQL language, and relational theory is what SQL is supposed to be based on. But are those products truly relational? Sadly, the answer is no. This book shows you what a real relational product would be like, and how and why it would be so much better than what's currently available. With this unique book, you will: - Learn how to see database systems as programming systems
- Get a careful, precise, and detailed definition of the relational model
- Explore a detailed analysis of SQL from a relational point of view
There are literally hundreds of books on relational theory or the SQL language or both. But this one is different. First, nobody is more qualified than Chris Date to write such a book. He and Ted Codd, inventor of the relational model, were colleagues for many years, and Chris's involvement with the technology goes back to the time of Codd's first papers in 1969 and 1970. Second, most books try to use SQL as a vehicle for teaching relational theory, but this book deliberately takes the opposite approach. Its primary aim is to teach relational theory as such. Then it uses that theory as a vehicle for teaching SQL, showing in particular how that theory can help with the practical problem of using SQL correctly and productively. Any computer professional who wants to understand what relational systems are all about can benefit from this book. No prior knowledge of databases is assumed. Table of Contents

Book Description Every year, tens of thousands of companies—from industry giants to aspiring upstarts—apply to speak at conferences. They pump millions of dollars into these events, hoping to find new customers, strengthen their brand, and meet new partners. Sadly, for most of them, things don't go that way. Submitted topics aren't chosen; when they are, they come across as tone-deaf sales pitches. What does it take to be chosen to speak—and to rock the mic when given the chance? This book takes you behind-the-scenes of the conference process, showing you how to submit, plan, and deliver a talk that matters. Event organizer Alistair Croll provides many examples based on his experience with a wide range of conferences, including O'Reilly's Strata, Velocity, Web2Expo, and TOC Conferences. - Learn 11 items that help your submission stand out—and 11 items that will get it tossed
- Explore the hurdles your proposal has to clear before it's accepted
- Tailor your talk to a conference's topics and themes
- Discover why images work better than words in your slide deck
- Achieve your business goals by engaging the audience before, during, and after your talk
