Description
Python is one of the world's most popular programming languages. Its simplified syntax, helps Programmers to easily develop different types of applications fast and easy. From Data Science and Machine Learning applications, to general purpose applications, Python makes it easy for the Developer, to build these applications. Additionally, when you combine the Python programming language, with the popular SQL Server Data Platform, you have a powerful software development setup, via which you can build just about anything!
This course does exactly that: it helps you learn how to access and work with SQL Server databases, directly from your Python programs, by teaching you how to perform all the major database development operations from within your Python code.
With my course, among other, you will learn how to set up your Python development environment on Windows using Visual Studio Code and the Python extension, you will refresh your memory on the basic Python data structures and commands, learn how to connect to SQL Server from within your Python programs, learn how to run SQL Server SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE T-SQL statements from within your Python code using parameters and exception handling, learn how to create and call SQL Server stored procedures, functions, DMVs, global system variables, and much more!
WHAT OTHER STUDENTS SAY ABOUT THE COURSE
"Thorough explanation and examples led to my being able to write and execute queries in SQL server with Python."
"Great quality and relevance to my job!"
"The course explains in simple words how I can work with SQL Server from my Python programs."
"Awesome"
WHAT IS THIS COURSE ALL ABOUT?
Python is a very popular programming language. Due to its simplified syntax, Programmers can develop a wide range of software applications, fast and easy. With Python, you can easily build Data Science and Machine Learning projects, as well as general purpose applications. When combined with the popular SQL Server Data Platform, it provides Software Developers and Data Scientists, with a powerful software development setup, that can be used for building just about anything!
This course has been carefully designed, in order to help you get started with Python programming for SQL Server data access. Via a well-structured curriculum, it starts with helping you set up your Python development environment on Windows, using Visual Studio code and the proper extensions, then explains the different options for connecting to SQL Server databases and then deep dives into a comprehensive set of live demonstrations, via which you will learn how to execute SQL Server SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE SQL statements, as well as, work with SQL Server stored procedures and functions and all that, via your Python programs. Last but not least, the course helps you get started with SQL Server Machine Learning Services, and more specifically, it helps you get started with executing Python scripts, directly in SQL Server, in-database.
So join me into a 6-hour journey and learn all about working with SQL Server databases, from within your Python programs!
