This is a great class! The rewards you can obtain are also proportional to how much time and effort you can devote to the projects. I learned a lot with the projects, interacting in the slack community, and through the links to documentation and other resources provided. It is definitely worth the effort!
Having the opportunity to learn from other peers in the industry and the fabulous instructors was priceless. Their willingness to go the extra mile and immerse themselves with the cohort upon their work and life commitments was unmatched!
I can't say enough good things about this class! The content was fantastic, but the course format and support was also unlike any online class I've taken. The lectures, work sessions, office hours, online communities, guest speakers, and deadlines all helped me learn more material faster than any Udemy, Coursera, etc. experience I've had. The CoRise team is amazing at creating a community of practice where you can ask any question and get a thoughtful response back immediately from TAs (or even classmates).
If you are brand new to SQL, this is a great starting place! It covers a lot of entry level material and will give you a good base to stand on. You are also not alone, there is tons of support from the CoRise team & fellow classmates!
The SQL Crash Course has been absolutely fantastic! I have done many online courses but never anything with such a wide range of teaching methods and materials or with such a fantastically well-organised community. I am so impressed and have been really motivated to achieve on the course. It has been worth its weight in gold and I have learned so much!
