Thanks to the support of Redgate, I’ve launched a new course which teaches you the basics of T-SQL. The course is totally free, no logins required: we don’t even ask for the email address.
The course is here:
https://www.red-gate.com/hub/university/courses/t-sql/tsql-for-beginners
Each week has an embedded video for the course, along with a link to the syllabus and scripts. The videos also have a timeline in case you wish to jump to a particular part of the discussion.
I’m publishing a new module each week, and we have five weeks to go. There’s a calendar reminder in the course if you want to join me live on Wednesdays at 3 pm BST / 11 AM EST, or you can catch the videos each week and follow along.
Redgate’s Community Circle initiative has other free courses on these topics. Check out the free course list here.
