Something I always hope for in a book are specific examples of the use of a specific API (as defined by wikipedia) to get from a program environment to another program or data engine, e.g. SQLite. I am always disappointed. Assuming for example, that the subject of the book is SQLite, the closest I get is a generic statement such as "There are API's which will allow a C programmer to access the SQLite database." Whoopie! My fingers automatically learn how this is done! My brain sure doesn't. It would be most useful to a jillion programmers if there were at least three specific code samples which show how the recommended Windows, Mac and Linux/Unix programming environments create, modify and query an SQLite table. Then my brain would be off and running, and I will buy that author's books until I die. I would also create that end-all application before I die. SQLite looks like a lovely little database engine. I sure would like to know how to get at it from other than the command line. By the way, books are not the only culprits. I have tried to get a handle on how to get from Objective-C to SQLite by using Apples Developer Documentation. After many tries trudging down their never-ending links, I still haven't reached Nirvana. Same with the SQLite site.
