It is January in Boston, which means that it is a great time to try to learn SQL while Mindy the Crippler tries to bite your toes off. Our hands-on intensive all-day-every-day course this year will be January 26-28. If you have any programming background at all but want to know how to use the relational database management system (RDBMS), this is your big chance. See the course page for more details on how to apply for admission (spaces are limited). Note that this is a for-credit course for Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science undergraduates but it can be audited at no charge and without being registered as a student (January at MIT is a flexible month).
Separately, if you are an experienced SQL developer and would like to volunteer as a teacher, please contact us! It has been a rewarding experience in the past and it is only three days of pain and suffering.
