Database Learning Resources

Am still working on writing an eBook about using spreadsheets and databases for data analysis.  In the research, I reviewed the Geekgirl's Plain English Computing website at http://www.geekgirls.com/category/office/databases/ 

I especially enjoyed reviewing the 2007 article comparing database apps at http://www.geekgirls.com/2007/11/the-year-of-the-database/ 

Geekgirl's site includes several short tutorials - have copied the  names of the tutorials below from http://www.geekgirls.com/menu_databases.htm
