Today should mark the end of our “SQL Database” class at school. Well technically this class should have been over with a week or so ago, but that’s alright.
Apparently the “SQL Database” class was originally a straight up MySQL class with a focus on doing all things related from the command line. A few semesters ago, this all changed and it became a PHP/MySQL class set on top of XAPM. I really don’t mind the PHP bit, considering that’s what I do for a living, but I would have liked more time with MySQL. I’ve gotten a bit rusty in it over the years as my database focus has been Oracle.
Wait, did I say I would have liked to spend more time with MySQL? Remember that part where I said we were running a few weeks behind schedule? Yeah, so my class never made it past the basic PHP sections and into the MySQL stuff. Oh well.
Next we start on Project Management with Microsoft Project 2007. It may actually lead to me getting my CompTIA Project+ certification, for whatever that is worth.
Classes for the semester end on August 17th with finals the 18th and 19th. Then it’s on to my second semester.
