Course Description

Master PostgreSQL and use it in your Python apps!
Python and PostgreSQL are two of the most in-demand skills in the world. After completing this course, you'll be confident in adding both to your resume/CV.
In addition, all the database knowledge you'll gain in this course is easily transferable to other databases such as MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Amazon Redshift, Oracle, and others!
The focus of this course is on fully understanding PostgreSQL and effectively integrating it with your Python applications. If you're a Python developer or you use Python at all, and you want to start using a PostgreSQL database, you're going to love this course!
You will:
Add data storage to your Python apps with in-memory databases, SQLite, and PostgreSQL.
Understand when to use different types of databases in your applications.
Build a programming journal project to learn how to add a SQLite database to your application.
Create a movie watch-list app to explore how to improve your database design over time, as well as how to model different types of relationships.
Migrate the movie watch-list app to PostgreSQL to identify the differences between PostgreSQL and SQLite.
Build a polling app to learn about advanced data analysis with GROUP BY, PostgreSQL window functions, and nested queries.
Extend the polling app to work with dates and times, and avoid common timezone pitfalls.
Learn how to structure Python apps professionally, to make development easy when working with databases.
Explore advanced SQL and PostgreSQL concepts such as user-defined functions, stored procedures, locking, and async database connections with Python.
Take all your knowledge and apply it to produce data analysis reports and charts using matplotlib.
As you can see, you're going to learn a lot!
But this is a no-nonsense, no-frills course. Every lecture has been planned, crafted, and edited to be perfectly concise and to the point. That way you can learn everything, quickly and easily.
Throughout the course, we have animated diagrams to explain database concepts, as well as code-along videos when we're working with Python. But you won't just be watching me code! I've carefully planned and mapped out every project and feature we add, and I encourage you to try them on your own first, before following along with me!
Also, throughout the course, I provide data sets with challenges and exercises for you to practice what you've learned.
I've been teaching and helping students online for over 7 years, and this course is the culmination of my teaching experience. I know how to help you understand concepts fully and quickly, in the best way for you.
Upon completing this course you'll be able to easily extend your Python applications with database functionality using PostgreSQL. You'll know how to answer questions using data, and you'll definitely be able to list PostgreSQL as one of your strongest skills.
Check out the free preview videos for more information and to try out the course!
I'll see you on the inside!
Who this course is for:
Beginner Python developers who want to take the next step in upgrading their applications by leveraging the power of databases.
Any Python developer who is not familiar with databases and wants to fully understand their choices before using one in their applicationsBusiness analysis and data scientists who want to create larger applications or interact with larger data sets through a database

This course is sufficient for pre- intermadiate level. The involve detail knowledge and good thing.

By Ruslan Svirschevski on 11/22/2020

Good for PostgreSQL basics. I expected more of SQL stuff, but 30-40% of the course was Python basics and plotting. Also some more interactive homework would be nice.
Instructor is very good. Clean speech with right tempo. Surely knows his subject.
The ending is kinda abrupt. Pls add some learning path suggestions.

By Daniel Musser on 11/15/2020

I am only in the first few lectures but so far, I am pleased. I appreciate the instructors pace and how he explains things. Looking forward to learning all the course material.

By Opolot Martin on 11/15/2020

Wow Wow, Wow, is there a way we can get more on translating this into graphical applications? But this has been the best so far I have gained in python.

By Stefano Ferrari on 11/8/2020

Very useful. Clear explanations and very interesting subjects.

By Greg McKim on 11/8/2020

The content seemed kind of unrelated to each other.

By Timothy Meador on 10/23/2020

It is a good review of prior python instruction. I want to get to the postgresql portion.

By Glenford Robinson on 10/23/2020

Very happy

By Lloyd Angulo on 10/22/2020

Jose does a great job explaining the concepts in a very clear way. It also helps to learn them by coding along and doing the projects.

By Paul Seville on 10/21/2020

fantastic instructor!

By Grzegorz Majkowski ul.Xxxxxxxxxx 100, 95 on 10/19/2020

Very good course describing in clear way the topic. If you are beginner you will really follow the learning path. You will get a lot of knowledge because you understand waht is about. I have a feeling that the course is not complete it breaks suddenly.

By Justin Fenton on 10/16/2020

Jose Salvatierra is really nice, friendly and positive.
This is a fun course.
