Most Important:  Friends, please be sure to look through the course curriculum with meticulous care before buying to be sure this course will work for you. Thank you. This course is being updated to bring it up to date with SQL Server 2017. As of 3/27/2018, 40 videos have been replaced. Replacement of all videos will happen over a month or so. Reviews from before 3/6/2017 are from the older version of this course. The new course features questions built right into the videos. The new course features audio done with a studio microphone. If you are at the intermediate or advanced level in SQL, do not join this course. My explanation can be very detailed at times, so be sure you enjoy that. Some of the videos cover programming, and some cover using a variety of resources without programming. I use AdventureWorks2016CTP3, but you can also use AdventureWorks2017. Both are saved under the lesson 2 resources. There is no practical difference between the two for the purposes of this course. You must already know how to download lesson resources. I do not show how to do that. Various topics are discussed through the videos. For example, there is not just one video on indexes because indexes are too big a topic. I discuss indexes through the videos where they play a role. The same applies to other concepts. Be sure to look under the lesson resources for additional information and the code. My explanations, in some of the videos, but not all, can be very detailed, so be sure you enjoy that before enrolling. If you are looking for powerpoints, fancy graphics or a talking head, please do not enroll. I don't use those. I do in different places use zooming to emphasize points. The videos are an average in 10 minutes in length, so please be aware of that. All the code is created in the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. I talk about execution plans quite a lot over multiple videos. This course does not cover joins, normalization or stored procedures. Friends, to get the most from this course, please watch it all, from beginning to end. There is a lot of information here:) Thank you, Tom and Adiv

Welcome to the first steps into the world of databases! This course will teach you the essential SQL skills that your employer expects from you.

It is becoming ever more important that companies make data-driven decisions . With big data and data science on the rise, we have more data than we know what to do with. One of the basic languages of data analytics is SQL, which is used for many popular databases including MySQL , Postgres , SQLite , Microsoft SQL Server , Oracle , and even big data solutions like Hive and Cassandra . I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Most high-level marketers and product managers at big tech companies know how to manipulate data to gain important insights. No longer do you have to wait around the entire day for some software engineer to answer your questions - now you can find the answers directly, by yourself, using SQL! In this course, SQL for marketers , we'll start from the basics - installing SQL onto your Mac, Linux, or Windows machine and explaining what a relational database is. Next, we'll look at basic tasks like creating tables and loading data into those tables. We will look at a wide variety of SQL commands and I will show you how to speed things up using indexes . Once you know all the SQL commands we will start doing advanced examples - answering questions marketers and business people often have, like where are customers dropping off in our sales funnel ? And which of our locations has the highest revenue ? In the last section, we'll do Advanced SQL queries on Spark , the big data framework that is the successor to MapReduce and also runs on top of Hadoop . I will teach you how to install Spark, create a cluster very quickly on Amazon EC2 , and run SQL queries, allowing you to apply everything you learned up until this point in a big data environment. Do you want to know how to optimize your sales funnel using SQL, look at the seasonal trends in your industry, and run a SQL query on Hadoop? Then join me now in my new class, SQL for marketers! Dominate data analytics, data science, and big data! TIPS (for getting through the course): Watch it at 2x. Take handwritten notes. This will drastically increase your ability to retain the information. Ask lots of questions on the discussion board. The more the better! Write code yourself, don't just sit there and look at my code.

WHAT SOME OF MY STUDENTS SAY ABOUT THE COURSE: "It was a great course and very easy to follow especially for someone who had no experience in SQL. The examples given were simple and Dr. Cas breaks it down really well so you can understand better. She walks you through all the different queries thoroughly and also writes down some helpful hints if you get stuck. She was also very attentive when I got stuck on one of the challenges and reached out to her one late night. She helped me understand it better by giving me more guidance and helped me think outside the box. Overall, this was a great course to take and now I have another skill under my belt all thanks to Dr. Cas! Thanks for everything!" - Karla Flores , Senior Financial Analyst, Adobe (California, USA) "Excellent course and terrific inputs about every query. Majority of the job interviews that I appeared before this course had questions on SQL and I used to mess it up since I didn't have my basics strong.This course not just helped me with the basics but also with the advanced concepts. It's absolutely brilliant. I just feel completely charged up to attend any DS interview where SQL is a skill set that is asked. My motivation was not to give any chance to the interviewer/recruiter is to not provide any more opportunities to them to reject me and this helped me at least get to that stage. Rest of the outcome depends on the practice that I do. Only need some practice on the Data Cleaning section else I think I am prepared from an interview standpoint. Thanks for all the inputs and support Ava." - R Suraj Kumar "This was my first time taking an online data analysis class outside an academic setting. I worried about how the design would work for me as a working professional and if it would enable me grasp the material, but I must say that everything about the online course was smooth, convenient, and enjoyable. The concise tutorial videos, quizzes with solutions and availability of the instructor, made it easy for me to understand the topics. The method, order, and scheduling were accommodating and in my opinion, makes it convenient for anyone, anywhere to take the course, and of course, the content was very useful to me. I'm glad I took this course and I will strongly recommend it and others to follow, to anyone trying to develop more skills for data analysis. " - Clare Ofodile , Project Manager, Quality Assurance and Research Development Agency Nigeria (Lagos, Nigeria) "I like this course as it is very easy to understand and relevant for a beginner like me. I wish I could have some more courses like this one. I really enjoyed it and I started to like SQL more. A big thank you to my teacher!" - Ana Rotari This instructor is highly effective and efficient in getting the critical knowledge across. Unlike other courses, this one did not drag. Time was well managed with the instructor's teaching approach. In just three and a half hours, this course can be a career changing investment. – Jose Floresca Jr. "This course sparks my most interest in SQL and you MUST take to get strong foundation in SQL. Teacher Ava provides a very organized and informative course which is worth best 5 ***** (stars). And more than that, she always be there to support you to clarify your confusion. Believe me, after this course, your level of confidence improves a lot and exceed your expectation. For me, I'd like to attend more SQL courses from Ava in next levels. I hope she will have some good news." – Dannie Le
