I am working through the Pro HTML 5 with Visual Studio 2012 book and the second chapter describes creating a simple project. I am using VS 2012 Professional.
The project is created correctly (.NET 4.5 ASP.NET Web Project), but the book goes on to discuss the creation of a "default database" with SQL Server 2012. I have SQL Server 2012 Express installed.
The database was not created at all. Is there a setting I need to toggle in order to generate? Is this a supported feature for the professional version?
It might have been created. You might just have to rebuild the project. Try the tools menu connect to database. This works for the vs2012 express version when following the tutorial here.

As far as books go I'll buy one after I finish all of the on-line tutorials and videos.
