Launching the SQL Crash Course – From Zero to Hero! 🚀
SQL Crash Course #0
Hey everyone, this is Josep one more week! 👋🏻
Today I’m teaming up with Cornellius from
to bring you something special—a brand-new SQL Crash Course! 🎉Whether you're just starting out or looking to sharpen your SQL skills, this series will take you from zero to hero with a structured, easy-to-follow approach. Each post will break down essential SQL concepts, helping you crash into SQL with confidence, following the same style of my previous SQL courses.
🔥 What’s in the course?
We will structure the series into seven key topics to guide you step by step:
Introduction – What SQL is and why it matters
SQL Fundamentals – Basic commands, filtering, and aggregation
Intermediate SQL – Joins, unions, and functions
Advanced SQL – Subqueries, CTEs, recursion, and views
Database Operations – CRUD, schema changes, and optimization
Crafting Good SQL Queries – Best practices for writing efficient queries
Real-world Problems – Applying SQL to practical challenges
🎯 Who is this course for?
This SQL Crash Course is designed for two main audiences:
- Juniors & Beginners
If you're new to SQL or want to crash into the world of databases, this course will guide you step by step, making SQL easy and approachable.
- Seasoned Professionals & Seniors
In the later editions, we’ll tackle real-world projects and develop end-to-end solutions that you can add to your portfolio, helping you level up your skills and showcase practical experience.
No matter where you are in your SQL journey, this course will help you learn, apply, and master SQL with real examples and structured learning.
