- collyw 8y agoGod help us if it's not.
- watsocd 8y agoI am teaching a college course on web development later in the spring and teaching raw SQL will be one of the main segments. I will discuss a few ORMs to make the students aware they are out there but we will not teach one in the course.
- Izkata 8y agoIt was for mine (2006-2010), but significantly more limited than you'd expect. It was essentially bare minimum, focused on theory, and could be summarized as "SELECT .. FROM .. INNER JOIN .. WHERE .." Most of the focus was on things like database normalization instead of practical usage. I recall upon starting my first job, a co-worker gave me a crash course in what exactly a LEFT JOIN was (though at this point it had been ~3 years since the college database course, which had been so lackluster I hadn't used one during those years).
