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.

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.

Instructors

Colt Steele,  Developer, and Bootcamp Instructor

Hi! I'm Colt. I'm a developer with a serious love for teaching. I've spent the last few years teaching people to program at 2 different immersive bootcamps where  I've helped hundreds of people become web developers and change their lives.  My graduates work at companies like Google, Salesforce, and Square.

Most recently, I led Galvanize's SF's 6-month immersive program as  Lead Instructor  and  Curriculum Director.  After graduating from my class, 94% of my students went on to receive full-time developer roles. I also worked at Udacity as a  Senior Course Developer  on the web development team where I got to reach thousands of students daily.

I’ve since focused my time on bringing my classroom teaching experience to an online environment. In 2016 I launched my  Web Developer Bootcamp course , which has since gone on to become one of the best selling and top-rated courses on Udemy. I was also voted  Udemy’s Best New Instructor of 2016.

I've spent years figuring out the "formula" to teaching technical skills in a classroom environment, and I'm really excited to finally share my expertise with you. I can confidently say that my online courses are without a doubt the most comprehensive ones on the market.
