Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this sql class:

SQL provides powerful but reasonably simple tools for data analysis and handling. This bootcamp will take absolute beginners through the basics of SQL to an ability to write queries with confidence. We will use a combination of lecture and in-class exercises to ensure that participants leave with a working grasp of SQL fundamentals necessary for querying popular relational/SQL-based databases such as MySQL and PostgreSQL.

Takeaways
  • Understand SQL vocabulary such as tables, schema, functions, and joins
  • Basic SQL syntax with SELECT-FROM-WHERE statements
  • LIMIT clauses
  • ORDER BY clauses
  • Filtering options using WHERE clauses
  • Grouping and Aggregations [MIN, MAX, SUM, AVG, COUNT]
Preparation
This is a beginner class assuming no previous SQL experience. We will be pausing to let participants run and write queries of their own, so participants should bring laptops. We will use the first 10 minutes of class to install SQLite on laptops for use in class. Participants should have permissions to install software on their laptops.
School Notes:
For students enrolling in 12 week part time and immersive classes, it is not recommended that you book more than one class simultaneously.

    The class, instructor, and content were fantastic; however, there was an event going on next to the classroom that was extremely distracting and seemed poorly planned by the center. I honestly felt bad for our instructor, it was hard to learn SQL when loud music was blaring.

    Instructor showed the syllabus which included material he arbitrarily decided not to cover. In addition, he complained about SQL Lite (what was used in class) but didn’t provide rationale. He also didn’t really provide important info like indexing.
