Beginning Database and SQL

Big data is everywhere, most companies, large and small, store their valuable information in a database. Data can tell you a lot about your customers, your products, and your business, but how do you get to it?

SQL to the rescue! This straight forward programming language is the industry standard for databases. Even better, it reads a lot like English, so No prior experience is needed.

This class will teach you the basics of how to create, search, and edit databases, to get the information you need.

We will help you answer the following questions.

1. What is a relational database and how does it work?

2. How do you create a relational database using SQLite?

3. How do you talk to a database using basic SQL commands?

We will be using SQLite a very popular open source database software to create an example client information database to practice your new SQL skills.

A week before the class starts I will send out a guide on how to install SQLite.

The class will be held at Digital Workshop Center, at 9 am on May 14th.
