This course will teach you how to use SQL to build applications and generate business reports, master SQL using an Oracle database, and learn PL/SQL extension language to write sophisticated queries against an Oracle database. You will also learn to write useful Java classes, applying Object-Oriented concepts such as inheritance, and create Java programs that work with these classes. The introductory section will show you how Python works and what it's good for. You will also gain an understanding of Python's place in the wider programming world.
You will begin coding quickly after starting the course. Afterwards, you'll move on to advanced methods in which you'll learn how to work with iPhone Notebook, the Collections Module, regular expressions, databases, CSV files, JSON, and XML. You will also learn advanced sorting, how to write object-oriented code in Python, and how to test and debug their Python code. In the last section, you get a rapid introduction to NumPy, pandas, and matplotlib, which are Python libraries. This course will prepare you for entry into the job market as a Java or Python programmer or an entry-level Oracle SQL Developer or allow you to take on more responsibility using new skills gained in a current job.

"This course is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to learn data engineering using Python, Java, and SQL. By the time you complete this course, you will have a working understanding of Object Oriented Programming and how it is used to prepare, analyze and present insights from a variety of data sources: databases, text files, URLs (HTML, XML, JSON, Unicode) and more. Having a personal instructor to help you along the way is a valuable resource. My interaction with the instructors enhanced my understanding of the material. The instructor's feedback on my coding exercises and projects helped me to internalize what I was learning so I could solve coding problems on my own. Completing this course has greatly enhanced my competence as a data engineer who boosted my confidence level! Thank you for the excellent course materials and the feedback on my work by highly skilled instructors."- B.G., Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey
"These courses provide a unique opportunity for anyone to brush up on skills they may already have through their work experience, or attain a new knowledge set entirely." - Kenneth S.
