Der Kurs ist für mich leider nichts gewesen. Er ist für absolute Anfänger, die noch absolut nie in ihrem Leben Daten, Tabellen oder ähnliches gesehen haben. Auch ist mir trotz des ganzen Kurses nicht klar was T-SQL von SQL oder PL-SQL unterscheidet.
Didaktisch war mir der Kurs auch zu langsam und es wurde vieles zu oft wiederholt. Hätte man auch in weniger Zeit erledigen können.

There was lot of repetition of the same thing, lecture after lecture. In at least 30 lectures, in the beginning the instructor is repeating the same thing to open the Management Studio and select AdventureWorks2014 db, so that part was boring.

Great beginner course, although there was about 1-2 min of every video explaining the same thing every time such as explaining what database we are using and that he is using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.

i am currently taking this course at a college and using Udemy as my review. I have found this course to be better taught than the $1000 course at the school.

When downloading sql server, I noticed there was a 2017 version available. Perhaps that would be better for those of us wanting to use the newest resource. 2014 was used in this course.
It seems there was some issue with the installation as I could not find ssms when the course called for it.
Additionally, suggested resources are not linked, you must search them to find the downloads, putting your computer at risk for malicious software if you choose the wrong page.
Finally, issues with the sample database included: a link that pointed to an out-of-date site, recommended zip software not required, unclear instructions on what you were doing.
Would not recommend this course if you are beginner. Not very user-friendly and not kept up with.
