It was easy to understand, and actually an enjoyable read. It covered many of the topics I learned in school in my data modeling class, but it laid them out in an easier to understand, Real world example, business oriented way. I found that the best part of this book is the step by step approaches the author takes to building a Subject Area Model (which is very useful in the business world in modeling everything), and the Scorecard he provides to rate and grade the models. All the terminology is explained and the book does a really great job at refreshing your memory if you need to review basic concepts. Overall, I would recommend this book to other computing students and professionals alike, especially ones in the field of business. This book will be the most useful to you if you are trying to model business needs or data, or if you are trying to gather data to build a database. Review: Is a good modeling database and this book is perfect to understand that - The basis of all web development , desktop or app is a good modeling database and this book is perfect to understand that. La base de todo desarrollo web, de escritorio o app es un buen modelado de base de datos y este libro es perfecto para entender eso. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #334,109 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #23 in Computer Programming Structured Design #85 in Data Modeling & Design (Books) #844 in Computer Science (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 135 Reviews | ## Images ![Data Modeling Made Simple, 2nd Edition: A Practical Guide for Business and IT Professionals (Take It With You) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61OXh-ET2WL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Data Modeling Book So Far, Especially for Business. *by S***M on June 11, 2015* As a computer science graduate, this book was a breath of fresh air.

La base de todo desarrollo web, de escritorio o app es un buen modelado de base de datos y este libro es perfecto para entender eso. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Primer by an excellent teacher *by W***R on November 22, 2024* I lead a data architecture team at a consulting company. For all of my people who are learning or growing in the art of data modeling, I recommend this book. In my opinion, this author is one of the most skilled at teaching data modeling. Most folks who teach this topic get very technical and academic, therefore not very engaging. That's not Steve. ## Frequently Bought Together - Data Modeling Made Simple, 2nd Edition: A Practical Guide for Business and IT Professionals - The Data Warehouse Toolkit: The Definitive Guide to Dimensional Modeling - Designing Data-Intensive Applications: The Big Ideas Behind Reliable, Scalable, and Maintainable Systems --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ni/products/7272000-data-modeling-made-simple-2nd-edition-a-practical-guide-business](https://www.desertcart.ni/products/7272000-data-modeling-made-simple-2nd-edition-a-practical-guide-business) --- *Product available on Desertcart Nicaragua* *Store origin: NI* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
