Why take this course?

From the creator of SAP LSMW Made Simple, comes another introductory course. Follow the instructor as he shows you step-by-step on how to properly execute queries in a database using SQL. This course assumes you have no prior knowledge of SQL.

The lectures are organized in an 'easy-to-learn' format so as to make learning fun. It is important that you go through the lectures in the sequence given, i.e. from the very first lecture to the last one. Additionally, in this course, the instructor will teach by writing over the screen. This simulates what you might have experienced in a traditional classroom setting.

The instructor recommends that you view each lecture in its entirety first. Immediately after watching each lecture, practice in the database - using the same example used in that lecture - to 'lock-in' the new material. To facilitate this, you will be shown where to download and more importantly, how to install both the SQL Server and the Database. (Both are free.)
