New MySQL® Video Course Online
Posted by fusionadmin on January 22 2008 14:53:00
As of January 22, 2008, we now have our first fully online course. Last year, we created a course on how to use Moodle®, a content managent system for creating learning systems (classroom, lessons, quizes, etc...).
We have decided that all our future courses will be offered online via subscriptions to our Moodle® system. When we eventually phase everything over, this means no more CD/ROMs to ship, and no more lengthy FTP downloads.
Our first course to be present on Moodle (on this website) is MySQL®. We did a complete course of 33 videos, over 5 hours of runtime. Complete details are available here: Learn MySQL.
For the MySQL® course, we use the Joomla database as an example. We have found that more and more Joomla content creators want to get deeper into how their websites work, and they are concerned about backups. Our MySQL® meets this need, as well as explaining the basics (and beyond) of how to build SQL querie and updates. All the examples are done on the Joomla 1.5 RC4 (release candidate) database. In this course, you will see how changes to the database can effect or change the online Joomla presentation.
