Course Description

No more watching other people do SQL with no context or practice problems! This course was designed to give you experience actually working on SQL problems, ensuring that you learn all the skills necessary to propel your programming careers.
This was my experience when I was learning SQL myself: I found tons of places that would show you how to write basic SQL statements, but hardly anywhere when it came to finding places that would show me real databases and fitting projects to practice those skills.
After working for years as a programmer, I made this course to give determined students a place to simulate the work environment by creating a complex database and assigning projects that will test your creativity and SQL knowledge learned throughout the course.
Who this course is for:
Intermediate SQL users

Time: 6.5h

Programmer, Instructor, and former Actuary.
Programming mastery comes the same way you master any other skill: practice and repetition. Learn to program the right way; not just by watching somebody else flip through slides, but from working on projects and taking tests yourself. I've designed my courses to focus on the most important topics and supply you with quality, real-world examples that will test your knowledge and creativity.

I like seeing the different ways that the queries are written and the differences in results. He does a good job of explaining what he is doing and why

def needed a sql project-based course

By Itamar Motro on 8/14/2020

I entered this course for the exercises and projects, but the explanations of the tasks are not clear and very frustrating. I find it hard to understand what I'm asked to do in each challenge.

I literally got my hands dirty.
Super course..........

The instructor is straight into the topic and is very practical, that's awesome!
Non-native English speakers find hard to understand his English sometimes.

I'm a complete beginner so I needed everything to be clear and straight forward. It was difficult to get set up since I have a mac. The problem statements were unclear and there were a lot of errors that made the course confusing.

It's good to practice while learning! Thank you for your exercises.

I was questioning the usefulness of this course, in the beginning, but then the Exercises started to go beyond what I know. I would definitely reccomend this course to get familiar with real life data and to build more skills and knowledge within SQL!

How can you honestly expect to be tested on something that has not been taught in the course? Making assumptions that the person you are trying to teach already knows what you know is incredibly frustrating

While Brandon is extremely knowledgeable about SQL, I personally found difficulty understanding certain concepts. I, myself, had prior experience with MATLAB, VBA, and some SQL to starting this course.
I've found that in an effort to rapidly apply various concepts, going over theoretical concepts in-depth has been compromised.
I would recommend this course to a student who already has an intermediate level understanding of SQL and would like to apply their knowledge in a realistic setting, not to a beginner level student.

Providing with the ERD diagram would have helped a lot as we would not have to run each table to see the relation everytime.

The complexity of the exercises is approaching what is required in my day job. The dry humour helps! There are a few discrepancies between what is in the videos and the data, which sometimes are called out in a "blink and you miss it" text caption
