Course details

This course focuses on seven core concepts: data types, designing a normalized database, identifying rows with primary keys, linking data with foreign keys, formalizing data relationships, indexes, and constraints. Database expert Adam Wilbert describes techniques that database developers use to protect their data. He explains why data types are important in creating a consistent data storage environment, then walks you through several common data types. Adam shows you the three normal forms of good database design.

Adam steps you through how to incorporate primary keys and foreign keys into the design of your database tables. He walks through data relationships, indexes, and constraints, then concludes with other courses you may find useful.

You can practice what you learn with a series of code challenges and solutions.

    I recently completed a data structures and queries course, and I found it both insightful and practical. The course provided a clear and comprehensive overview of essential data structures like arrays, linked lists, and trees, as well as an in-depth exploration of query languages, particularly SQL. The instructor's explanations were engaging and easy to follow, with plenty of real-world examples and hands-on exercises that reinforced the concepts. The practical applications and problem-solving aspects of the course were particularly valuable, and I now feel much more confident in optimizing data retrieval and managing complex datasets. Overall, it was an excellent learning experience that has significantly enhanced my skills in data management and algorithm design."
