Learn SQL for Database Programming

Perl Programming and SQL Database Training for Beginners or Intermediate Students

In this course, students will learn basic database creation and manipulation, as well as how to search databases and how to incorporate them into Perl-based programs and applications.

Upon completion of the course, students will earn 4 CEUs (Continuing Education Units) and a CEU letter from the University of Illinois Office of Continuing Education. This course counts toward both the Open Source Programming Certificate series and the Web Programming Certificate series.

From beginning to end, participants will learn by doing their own SQL-based projects using Perl. These projects, as well as the final project, will add to the student's portfolio and will contribute to certificate completion. Besides a browser and internet connection, all software is provided online by the O'Reilly School of Technology.
