I've done a lot of reading and a lot of youtube watching to try and round out my knowledge when it comes to MS Access and database design and implementation. You can find a lot of information on the basics (table structure, nomenclature, normalization, etc.) and on software tools like MS Access itself that often incorporates the principles of database design. It is trickier to find good information on the truly beginning portion of database design involving ERD (Entity Relationship Diagrams), Business Rules and other design criteria. It's also sometimes a challenge to find an article that explores the breadth of a topic (i.e. the various possibilities) as opposed to detailed information on a specific possibility.
I've found this set of tutorials/articles to be very helpful in filling in the inevitable gaps in the ad hoc learning process I've had. I thought it might be useful to others as well. I think having a basic understanding of DBs and computers makes it far easier to digest (it says as much in the beginning). I'm not personally doing the included exercises/tutorials myself, but if you have the time and are so inclined it appears to be based on an actual teaching curriculum.
