What They're Saying

Having been focused on Front End these last years, this course is amazing to get your hands dirty not only in the usual SQL and NoSQL stuff but also with other types of DBs. I'm happy to say that I'm confident again in writing queries and glad to recommend this course to rusty people like me or newcomers to the topic!

Bruno Alberto Becerra Gomez

Having done React for more than 7 years and in the Front End career for more than 10, this course gave me a refresh on some of the things I need to be more aware of and what I was missing about React, and gave me the boost I needed.

This course gave me a better understanding of databases and their core functionalities. I think the knowledge I gained from this course will help me choose the right databases for different projects and work with them seamlessly.
