Intro to Databases and SQL

Ladies and gentlemen the time has come for you to start learning about Databases and SQL.

In this episode I will talk about the very basics of databases and why it is they exist in the first place.  You'll learn things like:

• What exactly is a Database, and what ulitimate purpose does it serve?
• Why are modern databases referred to as relational databases?
• What a database does, day in and day out, it's sole purpose in life is essentially CRUD!
• How does SQL fit into the database equation
• Why it was that Trevor failed his first database course in university!  For shame!

Learning and understanding databases is more is less a required skill in these modern days of programming, and at the very least, having knowledge about databases will give you a leg up on any competition.  So pay attention boys and girls, and strap on your thinking caps, because this ride is getting started.
