Here you will find many resources such as:

• The source code used in the book
• Instructions on how to install the test databases and the examples
• Utilities to help you be more productive
• Links to other sources of information

Use the links on the left to navigate the CD's contents, see instructions on how to set up the code examples, and more.

What Should I Do?

First, make sure you have all the required software you need by clicking Setup Prerequisites.

Next, follow the Setup Instructions to copy the right files to your computer, create the databases used in the examples, and set up the data sources.

As you use the book, you might want to view the code being discussed, or you might find a useful place to reuse a code snippet--which you are welcome to do! You will find all the code in the Example Code section.

And last, but not least, you can find information about William R. Vaughn (Bill) and about Apress in the appropriate links.
