Requirements

No Database, SQL, or MySQL experience needed! Complete beginners to MySQL are welcome.
All you need is a working computer for this course; PC, Mac, and Linux users are all welcome.
No previous programming language experience required, but it won't hurt :)

Description

If you want to learn how to gain insights from data but are too intimidated by databases to know where to start, then this course is for you. This course is a gentle but comprehensive introduction to MySQL, one of the most highly in-demand skills in the business sector today.

Whether you work in sales or marketing, you run your own company, or you want to build your own apps, mastering MySQL is crucial to answering complex business problems and questions using insights from data. The Ultimate MySQL Bootcamp introduces you to a solid foundation in databases in a way that’s both informative and engaging. Yes, that’s right, it’s possible to make an engaging course on databases.

In this course, you will:

Learn the ins and outs of SQL syntax
Generate reports using sales and user data
Analyze data using Aggregate Functions
Run complex queries using MySQL logical operators and string functions
Write all the common SQL joins
Work with large datasets containing thousands of entries
Build a web app using MySQL and NodeJS
Design and implement complex database schemas
Learn to navigate the treacherous world of storing dates and times
Clone the database structure of a photo sharing social network
Write Javascript code to generate fake data sets
And more!

This course is also chock full of exercises, challenges, projects, and opportunities for you to practice what you’re learning. Apply what you’re learning to real-world challenges such as finding a website’s power users, calculating your top students, identifying bots on a site, or determining which hashtags generate the most traction on a site. Along the way, you’ll also get to meet my pet cat, Blue! (She’s really cute.)

Why Learn MySQL

Consistently ranked the most in-demand skill in recent employer surveys, SQL is a fantastic way to increase your income and boost your professional development. So many companies today use MySQL, including Twitter, Uber, Airbnb, Dropbox, Github, Kickstarter, Udemy, Slack, and many others. Unsure about the difference between SQL and MySQL? MySQL is the most popular open source SQL database out there, so it’s a great choice to begin your learning journey. We’ll talk a lot more about the difference between SQL and MySQL in the course, but 95% of what you learn about MySQL in this course will apply to other databases such as Postgres, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server.

Why This Course Is Different

This isn’t going to be a course where you watch me code for 20 hours; it’s a course with ample opportunity for you to get your hands dirty writing code (even within the first 7 minutes of the course).

My teaching experience is rooted in the classroom. I’ve spent years teaching programming, web development, and databases to my in-person bootcamp students. This course combines the best of my offline courses with the convenience of learning online, in a setting that’s best for you.

Upon completing this course, you’ll be able to interact with and query any SQL database out there. You’ll also be able to generate reports with ease, answer company performance questions using data, and integrate MySQL into complete applications.

So let’s do this! Enroll today and start learning SQL!

Who this course is for:

Anyone interested in learning SQL to help with their current job or to find a new role. SQL is one of today's most in-demand skills
Anyone looking to answer complex business problems and generate reports using data
Business owners, people in sales, or people in marketing roles who are interested in understanding company data better.
Developers who are looking to build applications (e.g. social network, ecommerce site) using MySQL

The course was great. Colt gives a lot of detailed information and breaks it down into small chunks with many excercises. Although this can make the course seem slow at times one can always skip something that is already known or speed up the playback rate. I was very satisfied with what I got and will pursue other courses created by Colt.
