"I've never written straight SQL"
Wow. Just curious, have you ever programmed professionally? If not, I'd highly recommend you learn to write raw SQL. And not just the basics but really learn it in depth. ORMs are definitely very useful but I've never been able to complete a single project without writing a fair amount of SQL because the ORM was too slow or couldn't give me what I needed.
- dhconnelly 15y agoYes, for two years. I was a math major in undergrad, though, and I never had to do it for work. I've only worked on one database-backed application, and it used a NoSQL database. That's why I took this course while I'm in grad school.
