- You work with large amounts of information on a regular basis and would like to know how to organize and understand it better. Whether you’re an accounting professional trying to make sense of expense data or an administrative assistant putting together a database for inventory information, an understanding of how databases work will enable you to produce better results and save you work in the long-term.
- Finally, you’re an I.T. professional, maybe even a programmer or software developer, who is still not sure of the details of database design or MySQL. Maybe you’re just coming back to it after years of doing other work and need a refresher course. Having a reference by your side can be very helpful when working on your latest project.
