Home » Database Programming

Database Programming is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to develop robust and efficient database applications. Through hands-on projects and theoretical instruction, students will learn to design, implement, and manage databases using industry-standard tools and techniques.

Goals:

  • Understand the fundamental principles of database programming.
  • Develop proficiency in database design and implementation.
  • Learn to write complex queries for data retrieval and manipulation.
  • Gain practical experience in working with various database management systems.
  • Explore advanced topics such as database optimization and normalization.

Prerequisites:

  • Basic understanding of programming concepts such as variables, control structures, and functions.
  • Familiarity with relational database concepts (tables, rows, columns, etc.).
  • Proficiency in at least one programming language such as Python, Java, or C++.
