Smashwords Interview

How did you get started as a writer?
The idea of writing a book, was not something I had in mind. It started as a coincidence. I have been working as an Accountant for many years. Back then, the computer software, accounting software in particular was revolutionalizing the way accountants work. As I started learning the user manual, which we all do, before we start to operate a machine, I realised there is this sense of curiosity of understanding the mechanism of the accounting software I was using. That, literally drives me to find out books that touches on Accounting Information System. Unfortunately, it is dissapointing to find most of these books, does not actually explain the mechanism of the functionality of a real accounting system. Most of these books only covers the theoritical concept of it, and not the technical aspect of it. That triggers my instinct to document all these knowledge and experience in a form of a book.
Tell us about your book? What sets it apart from the rest of the Accounting Information Book available today?
If you are looking for one that teaches on real database design and sql programming, then this might be the one you have been searching for. I given the title : Accounting Database Design, instead of the conventional term of Accounting Information System, as I think it is only logical to use the conventional term, if you are literally talking about accounting system concept and theory. I incorporate the word design, because, the ingredient of this book, contains some technical guidance on creating tables for accounting modules, technical know how on entity relationship (linking your tables as an integrated system) and also some good lesson on sql programming. Sql in short, stands for structured query languange is a server-side scripting, that you need to master in order to create those financial reports (profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow) that every Accountant or business manager would need.
