Books

Over the years I have had a number of books published. The first one made what seemed at the time an impossible dream come true. It’s not that difficult to write a book, especially non-fiction. However, it does take a lot of time and dedication and don’t expect to give up the day job!

	The ETX book has evolved through several editions and the latest one includes the popular LX90 model, the bigger brother of the ETX.
	I also wrote a number of books for the Made Simple series. The later editions I learnt to typeset myself.
	I have had a long term interest in cycling. With the proceeds from my first database book on Rdb I purchased a full suspension Cannodale mountain bike. That resulted in the publication of this little guide books of mountain bike trails in the Southern Counties.
	My working career has been spent using database systems. My first book, written with Ken England, was on Digital’s Rdb database system, which is still in use today. Other books followed including several on the Oracle database and the one shown here on the Data Warehousing features in the Oracle database.
