Hi,
I think in your case you should go for a traditional book approach to build
a good background.
In my opinion finding the right book is a matter of match between the kind
of book and your background.
My hint is to gather here 4/5 good book titles, go in a book shop take a
while to run thru the books and 'feel' whats the best approach for you.
In your case, if you want to study quite well, the most complete book I can
think of is Paul DuBois 'MySQL' 4th Edition.
While the certification study guide I find it not suitable for the needs of
a beginner for structure, for contents and for difficulty.
Cheers
Claudio
