Rick Dobson, Ph.D., is the author of three books on Access and SQL Server development. His "Programming Microsoft Access 2000" book for Microsoft Press stands out for its clear and concise introduction of how to put ADO to work with Access 2000. Rick's second book titled "Professional SQL Server Development with Microsoft Access 2000" for Wrox Press targets both Access developers and SQL Server DBAs. The book equips Access developers to build SQL Server solutions and introduces SQL Server DBAs to the power of Access RAD tools for forms, reports, web pages. His third book, "Programming Microsoft Access Version 2002"* for Microsoft Press builds on the strengths of his earlier books as well as constructive feedback from developers who bought his books and attended his seminars. In addition to his books, Rick contributes frequently to developer-oriented publications and web sites in his area of expertise. You can find his articles in such sources as SQL Server Magazine, Microsoft OfficePRO, Visual Basic Programmer’s Journal, Microsoft Technet, msdn online, and the TechProGuild site within TechRepublic. Rick's practice also sponsored two previous annual seminar tours for Access and SQL Server developers and DBAs. Beyond that he has presented database and web training session in Australia, Great Britain, Canada, and throughout the US. These experiences equip him with a first-hand appreciation for the practical needs of database developers and administrators.
* This book will appear in August or September before the start of the seminar. Microsoft Press authorized its delay to provide significantly more content than in the earlier version, elevate the level of content, and still offer thorough coverage of the latest features in Access 2002. |
