You see, data is everywhere and it is the most valuable asset in the world. All the top companies need people that can work with data.
That's where this course comes in.
The truth is though... there are many SQL courses and even free tutorials online.
So here are 5 reasons why this bootcamp is different (and better) from any other SQL / PostgreSQL / MySQL / Database tutorial online:
1. You will learn to work with not just one, but many databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft Server, Redis, and more.
We take you from absolutely zero knowledge and no technical/programming experience, all the way to mastery. You will go beyond basic SQL commands and learn advanced techniques, database best practices, database design and how to optimize for performance, security, and scalability.
2. Learn SQL & Databases from the best.
This course is taught by Mo and Andrei, two Senior Developers who have actually worked on massive projects for some of the top tech companies in the world.
Mo is a SQL & Database expert and works as a Solutions Architect. He has built software for the European Union, launched products for five Fortune 500 companies, and has consulted at Google.
Andrei has worked on enterprise-level applications for large tech firms in Silicon Valley as well as Toronto. Thousands of students from around the world have now taken his courses and many are now working at places like Google, Amazon and Tesla. You could too.
By having both Andrei and Mo teach, you get to see different perspectives and learn from two engineers as if you are working on projects at a company together with them.
3. You will learn by doing and actually have fun along the way.
Most tutorials are boring or out of date. The course is very different. You will start the course by getting hired at Keiko Corp and be tasked with investigating their recent Database breach 🕵️♀️.
You will be working on real-world assignments and exercises, analyzing databases and hidden information and learning the skills you need so that you can help Keiko Corp solve their data breach mystery!
4. You will go beyond the basics.
This course is not about making you just code along without understanding the principles so that when you are done with the course you don’t know what to do other than watch another tutorial... No!
This course will push you and challenge you to go from an absolute beginner in SQL and Databases to someone that is in the top 10% of SQL and Database experts 💪.
5. You won't be learning alone. You'll be learning alongside hundreds of other students from around the world in our private online community 👋.
You will have a chance to communicate with fellow students, work on group projects together, and contribute to open source projects. And anytime you have a question, you can ask and get help right away (including directly from Mo and Andrei).
Active. Thriving. Supportive. Helpful. Friendly. Motivating. Essential.
These are just a few of the words students use to describe the ZTM Developer Community Discord which also happens to be one of the biggest and most active developer communities on Discord.
You have nothing to lose. You can start learning right now and if this course isn't everything you expected, we'll refund you 100% within 30 days. No hassles and no questions asked.
