Why Analyze Data with SQL?
Data has become one of the most important parts of any business. No matter what your position in a company, being able to make informed decisions from that data is now part of the job description.
In this class you will get an overview of what a relational database is, learn the basics of making queries with SQL and how to manipulate the data into a useful output.
We will work in a test online SQL environment to work through some basic theory and then run some actual Queries including some aggregate functions. At the end of the class there will be time for questions.

After studying database construction and SQL querying at university, Colin uses SQL every day working as a Technical Engagement Marketing Manager for a global tech company.
Materials Needed to Participate Fully:

Virtual Class FAQ
What will be included in my Virtual Class package?
One ticket includes an access link to your live, online class. The class will be delivered via web conferencing software and feature a live, professional instructor who will walk you through a lesson as described above. You will have the opportunity to ask questions as well as participate from home.
Will I need anything from home to use in the class?
You will need a reliable Internet connection as well as a computer or device with which you can access your virtual class. We recommend you arrive to class 5-10 minutes early to ensure you're able to set up your device and connection. Additionally, if the class is more than just a lecture you will likely want any materials listed in the course description as "Materials Needed to Participate Fully", though you're welcome to purchase a seat and sit in and just watch.
Am I able to ask questions or interact with the class?
Yes, you'll both be able to ask questions using the chat function in the video hosting software as well as at certain intervals during the class via voice/audio. If the class winds up being on the smaller side, more spontaneous interaction/questions will be encouraged.
