Student Feedback:
Here are some of the reviews from existing students which may help you make the decision, but also please feel free to go through the reviews from others at the bottom of this page!
Ayantika N [5*] - This is my first-hand experience with SQL. I thoroughly enjoyed the course, especially being a student with no background in computer language. I found the course well-thought out and beneficial for me. The hands-on examples are really well explained. I look forward to coming back to your courses in future as well. Kudos to you!! :)
Mayank S [5*] - A very comprehensive course which starts with the basics then slowly moves on to intermediate and advanced concepts. The best part is the practice exercises to solidify one's understanding. Easy to follow along.
Ritesh T [5*] - I have purchased all his courses. The best part of him is that, he explains the concepts + the use cases where it would be used. Just like his databricks, azure df, azure synapse courses, the theories are there as well as the scenarios where such concepts could / would / should be used. There are times when a student like me who is working on live projects could use a particular concept, and bingo, his lectures come life saving.
Who this course is for:
- University students looking for a career in Information Technology
- Software Engineers working with data, i.e, Web Developers, App Developers etc
- Anyone interested in Data Engineering, Data Analysis, Data Science, Business Intelligence etc
