  • Bonus

    Modules

    • First SQL queries

    • Model tables and complex SQL queries

    • Functions, procedures and data processing

    • Optimize SQL queries

Do I really need this?

Why do I need to model tables myself? My ORM does this automatically.

Because you will design the tables better, using features not handled by an ORM. You will structure your data more efficiently and then you will access it faster.

Why should I learn to write SQL queries? My ORM can generate them.

The ORM generates suboptimal queries. By using native SQL you will build fast and efficient queries using the exact functions needed to acces your data.

Why do I need to learn to tune queries? The DBA can take care of this.

Why would you write slow queries and have a DBA tune them later, instead of writing them fast from the first place? You will learn the most efficient techniques to tune your SQL queries and access your data as fast as possible.

Why should I learn SQL altogether? It's an old language.

SQL is a timeless and universal language. It has been used for 50 years and it will probably be used for the next 50 years. Also, it works with all programming languages so if you learn it now, you can use it later for future projects.

When we will do this

8 live sessions, 16 hours of course

  • January 23rd to February 15th

    Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1 PM to 3 PM

    The course duration is 4 weeks, from January 23rd to February 15th. There will be 2 live sessions each week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1 PM to 3 PM ET.

  • Group project and individual projects

    Using Java, JavaScript or Python

    In the first session of the week on Tuesdays we will work on a group project that uses Java code and Oracle database. In the second session of the week on Thursdays you will build your own projects using Java, JavaScript, Python or another language you prefer.

Lucian Lazar

Lucian Lazar

Software Developer | Oracle Certified Professional | University, Pluralsight and Maven Teacher

I have over 15 years experience in software development and teaching, so I will share with you both the basic academic concepts and the practical experience from industry. My current position is Database Developer at Optymyze maintaining a top sales application. I am Teaching Assistant for a top university in Romania on courses of databases and programming. I also teach databases courses for Pluralsight and here at Maven. You can see more details on my website and on my Linkedin profile.


The idea of this course came to me after presentations and coaching sessions with fellow developers. I was amazed of how easy it was for me to show them that native SQL improves the performance of accessing data and how much they improved their skills in working with databases after the sessions. I held this course with colleagues and with developers from other companies. You can see from their testimonials how they reached the outcomes of the course, how they improved the quality of their code and the speed of their applications.

See what people are saying

        I really like this course since it gives a well-structured way to get quickly up-to-speed with native SQL. ORMs are problematic as applications become more complex since they can generate suboptimal SQL queries. I highly recommend this course for developers who work with complex applications in which the database is the bottleneck.

        This is really interesting! I like the flavour added here, the comparison to ORMs. You can count on high level frameworks, but understanding what’s actually happening behind the scenes always matters. More than you think! Worked with Lucian on several projects, he’s the perfect mentor for you, looking forward to seeing the outcomes!

VP of Product
        Lucian presents some very important sql and performance concepts that any backend developer should be aware of, in an interesting and captivating matter. Having these notions and improvements in mind can make our lives a lot easier when we develop a complex application.

        Your content is very clear and to the point. Especially the performance tuning and optimization. I am very impressed by that.

        Feel free to learn from an expert. Lucian will teach you quite a few tricks about SQL in this course.
