I had the chance to take a class taught by N. Umanath, one of the authors, with this as the text.
This was not the case of the textbook being the chosen text because the author wanted sales. It was an amazing opportunity to learn the subject as the author intend(s/ed) it to be taught. My view of the book may be skewed because it was taught by the author (so he could have made up for deficiencies in the book, it’s hard to say). But overall I learned a ton of stuff in a very short period of time, and felt several times more knowledgeable and capable on the subject.
Very understandable and readable. A few things are somewhat non-traditional, but they make very good arguments for where they diverge from tradition, and I personally believe that many of those divergences should be adopted at an enterprise level. Specifically their model for logical schemas.
