Build your foundation in Python and SQL

Python
SQL
Error Handling
Functional Programming
ER Diagrams
Indexing

Kickstart your journey with advanced Python programming and data modeling techniques. You’ll dive deep into data structures, functional coding, performance tuning, and error handling — then transition into advanced SQL queries, relational modeling, normalization, and optimization strategies. Your learning journey starts with more than just tech skills – it begins by building a strong foundation for success. In the first week, you’ll connect with your peers, learn how to work effectively in the course, explore the IT industry and career opportunities, and discover how to use (and not misuse) AI as a tool to support your growth.
