"Design Theory Blitz: Quickly Understand GREAT Design"
"This course serves as a bird's-eye-view of Design Theory, including industry standards foralignment,contrast, and color in print and web design. Universities and colleges spend entiresemesters teaching this single topic, and the goal of this course is NOT to condense everydesign theory out there into a quick course - that would be impossible. The goal of this course IS, however, to provide students with a solid baseline so that they can begin designing with confidence, and so that they have the tools and resources necessary to continue learning the theories and principles of graphic design on into the future.At its core, graphic design is an art form, and art is always evolving. Design rules are often made to be broken, but a broad understanding of what actually makes a design pleasing to the eye is key to developing relevant, eye-catching, and on-trenddesign pieces.As an added bonus, we have a private Facebook group withover 5600 students and counting, which is an awesome resource for you to take advantage of while you go through the course. The group is an excellent place to post projects, get insightful critiques, and network with other like-minded students and working professionals all over the world.What Students Are Saying About This Course:It was very very good. The resources were awesome. - Nikhil G.I had just used Papyrus within minutes of starting the course. :) I went back and changed it to a free Google font, and it actually suits what I was doing so much better. Instant payoff. - Justin GrammI started this course with little experience and thankfully I have learnt a lot throughout this course. - Jimmy Clark*NOTE:This is an ever-expanding course, and new videos will be added based on student feedback, since my goal is for everything in this course to be 100% pertinent to what my students really want to learn about. So feel free to weigh in on what you want to see added!Ilook forward to guiding you through this course, and to giving you the tools necessary to continue learning design principlesas your skills grow.Cheers!"

The group is an excellent place to post projects, get insightful critiques, and network with other like-minded students and working professionals all over the world.All project files are included as a free download at the beginning of each section, and you are welcome to use the files however you want, or simply to follow along with the projects as you move through the lessons. There are also bonus materials provided to help you work with real clients, such as project proposals and contracts, that Derrick and Jennah (Derrick's wife and project manager) have used to land graphic design and web development projects. If you see anything in any of the lectures that no longer apply with the software update, please let us know! We are doing our best to keep this course up to date and continue to add value for you.Instructor Qualifications and Background:Derrick has spent his entire career in the creative arts and marketing sector. Starting back as early as high school where he turned homework into paying gigs, his love for all things art and technology driven has continued to grow.

They are, Snapshot Replication, Transactional Replication and Merge Replication. It has also been used to for high availability solution but thats not recommend. Replication is for continuous data transfer and is not used for simply copying data. The two most common real world applications for replication are reporting and data warehousing. Ive also seen it used for off-loading nightly batch processing tasks. Replication uses a Magazine Publishing vocabulary. Anything from an article to an entire database can be replicated.

"Real World SQL Server Profiler"
"Recent Review fromSimilar Course""This was my first dba course. The course flowed well and the instructor seemed confident in his knowledge. Instructor stayed on topic and didn't get sidetracked by going down 'rabbit trails' of additional content, which can sometimes happen. I would definitely take another class with the same instructor."" Phil CarpenterMicrosoft SQL Server Profiler is a graphical user interface to SQL Trace for monitoring T-SQL Statements of Database Engine SQL ServerProfiler is a powerful tool that allows you to capture and analyze events. This information can be used to identify and troubleshoot many SQL Server-related problems. One of the things that separate less knowledgeable DBAs from exceptional ones is that exceptional DBAs know how to take full advantage of the tools available to them. Even though Profiler can be used to monitor analysis services and integration services its core use is for tracking down real world issue that happen within SQL Servers database engine. In this course, we are going to cover the architecture of SQL Server Profiler and then use it to track down performance related issues. In the course, we are also going to cover the nomenclature in detail. Whats an event and for that matter whats an event class? How do I use them? The interface isnt that intuitive and in this course we will walk through all the tabs and their meaning as well as learn how to use them to capture only what we want to see, not the thousands of lines we dont need. With profiler, we can: create traces, watch the trace capture the spids in real time, store it, replay and even save the output to a server to others can view the results in table format. There are several reasons profiler isnt used more often in the real world. Firstly, the interface isnt well designed, secondly it creates a ton of data when its not filtered and lastly it can consume a lot of resources on the server. If the profiler is configured appropriately to trace only relevant data for analysis, it will diminish the additional load that is introduced while it is running. If profiler is run for a longer duration, then to capture the event of longer duration it is very important to collect selective data, otherwise the collected data can outgrow the space on the server. In this course, we are going to learn how to ameliorate all the issues with the tool and learn how to use it effectively in the real world. Thanks for your interest in Real World SQL Server Profiler."

Good course."" -- Mike H""Excellent material and quick to the point!"" -- Nick Y. COURSE INTRODUCTION: Welcome to Advanced SQL Server Transaction Log Analysis.    In this course, we are going to take a deep dive into analyzing the transaction log.  The SQL Server transaction log contains the history of every action that modified anything in the database.   Before data is written or saved on disk a copy or record of that transaction is first written to the transaction log.    This is part of the D in the ACID properties. Recall that D stands for durability and durability is the ACID property which guarantees that transactions that have committed will survive permanently.    For example, if a flight booking reports that a seat has successfully been booked, then the seat will remain booked even if the system crashes.   This process in SQL Server is accomplished by WAL or Write Ahead Logging.    SQL Server uses a write-ahead log (WAL), which guarantees that no data modifications are written to disk before the associated log record is written to disk.   No matter what youve read about non-logged operations the truth is that every user transactions that modifies an internal SQL Server object is logged.    In the course we will learn how WAL works for SQL Srever and some internal architecture on how this is accomplished.    Thanks for your interest in Advanced SQL Server Transaction Log Analysis and we will see you in the course. "

"An Abridged Introduction to Dynamic SQL"
"""First impressions are ""Finally, a practicing educator"" Course delivery is smooth and spot on. Right before you lose hope a gem like this pops up - thanks."" - Don Councill Welcome toAn AbridgedIntroduction to Dynamic SQL. Dynamic SQL is a programming technique that enables you to build SQL statements dynamically at runtime. You can create more general purpose, flexible applications by using dynamic SQL because the full text of a SQL statement may be unknown at compilation. Dynamic SQL is often underused, misused, or overused. If you are completely unfamiliar with Dynamic SQL, this will be an opportunity to learn, practice, and immediately apply it. If you already have experience in writing and using Dynamic SQL, this will be a chance to learn new applications while getting a refresher on those you have worked with in the past. Anyone with a healthy interest in database administration or development can benefit from the topics covered in this course. Dynamic SQL seeks to solve scenarios where you want to operate on one or many objects, but do not know all the details but dont know all the details as your write the code. Dynamic SQL gives us an opportunity to customize statements to match performance needs. Removing excess objects, removing joins and subqueries, and reducing the size of a SQL statement can result in faster executions times and reduce resource consumption. The course will be exercise laden. Because Dynamic SQL is unfamiliar to many we will start of basic and transition into more detailed examples. There are many reasons why you would want to incorporate Dynamic SQL into your everyday arsenal of SQL Server tools and in the course we will demonstrate several real world example. Id also like to add that an automated software engine Ive authored called sqlblackbox relies heavily on Dynamic SQl and in the course Ill show you a few simple lines I use in the application.

"Building an Automated SQL Server Performance Tuning Engine"
"Recent Reviews:""Mike has given a great template that will allow DBAs to ease their admin tasks. Really well done."" -- Doug Alderson""This is a great tool to help DBAs and non- database system administrator for performance fine tuning"" -- Bernard BernardWelcome to Building an Automated SQL Server Performance Tuning Engine.In this course, we are going to build a completely automated application for tuning a SQL Server instance. The application has been running on live production instances for several years. These SQL Servers have needed no performance tuning attention since the tool was installed. Ive created the software and named it SQL Black Box. I choose the name because for most in the organization the inner workings of the tool will be a black box. The software in the course will be written in C# and the SQL Server code will obviously be transact-sql. This is not a step by step on how I authored the code. This course assembles the sundry components that make up the application.Youll be able to take the application and install it on any SQL Server you want. You wont be able to resale any portion of the code but thats the only restriction. Regardless of your skill level this application will ease your administrative burden. Advanced students will be able to choose what modules they want to implement. I use the term module within the software to denote individual unit of work. For example, there will be a module that removes exact duplicates and there will be a module that adds high impact indexes to the instance. Please note I used the word instance and not databases. We dont tune databases; we tune the instance they are on because all the critical resources are shared at that level. Those students newer to SQLServerwill be able to change a couple of lines of code, build the modules and then use task scheduler to automated their schedules. Thank you for your interest in Building an Automated SQL Server Performance Tuning Engineand we will see you in the course."

"A Comprehensive Guide to NLTK in Python: Volume 1"
"Recent Course Review: ""Great course! The things that Mike taught are practical and can be applied in the real world immediately."" -- Ricky ValenciaWelcome toA Comprehensive Guide to NLTK in Python: Volume 1This is the very FIRSTcourse in a series of courses that will focus on NLTK.Natural Language ToolKit (NLTK) is a comprehensive Python library for natural language processing and text analytics.Note: This isn't a modeling building course. This course is laser focused on a very specific part of natural language processing called tokenization.This is the first part ina series of courses crafted to help you master NLP.This coursewill cover the basics of tokenizing text and using WordNetTokenization is a method of breaking up a piece of text into many pieces, such as sentences and words, and is an essential first step for recipes in the later courses. WordNet is a dictionary designed for programmatic access by natural language processing systems.NLTK was originally created in 2001 as part of a computational linguistics course in the Department of Computer and Information Science at the University of PennsylvaniaWe will take Natural Language Processing or NLP for short in a wide sense to cover any kind of computer manipulation of natural language. At one extreme, it could be as simple as counting word frequencies to compare different writing styles. At the other extreme, NLP involves ""understanding"" complete human utterances, at least to the extent of being able to give useful responses to them. Technologies based on NLP are becoming increasingly widespread. For example, phones and handheld computers support predictive text and handwriting recognition; web search engines give access to information locked up in unstructured text; machine translation allows us to retrieve texts written in Chinese and read them in Spanish; text analysis enables us to detect sentiment in tweets and blogs. AJupyter notebookis a web app that allows you towrite and annotate Python code interactively. It's a great way to experiment, do research, and share what you are working on. In this courseall of the tutorials willbe created using jupyter notebooks. In thepreview lessonswe install Python. Check them out.Theyare completelyfree. By providing more natural human-machine interfaces, and more sophisticated access to stored information, language processing has come to play a central role in the multilingual information society.

This is the first course in a series of courses designed to help you attain the coveted Google Certified Data Engineer.At this juncture the Google Certified Data Engineer is the only real world certification for data and machine learning engineers.    The Harvard Review dubbed the data scientist the sexiest job of the 21st century.  It might be the greatest job in the world if you have a dedicated team of data engineers at your beckon call otherwise youre first week of work is going to be a tough one.    Most applied machine learning is supervised.  That simply means you use a data set to build your machine learning or deep learning models with.    In the real world data is messy, complicated and very difficult to work with. Another real world issues is working with data at scale. Very few companies have the compute or storage resources to work with large data sets. That's where the Google Cloud Platform comes in. The tools they've built for the cloud are the tools they are using internally. This is the first course in a series of course dedicated to learning the Google Cloud Platform and attaining the Google Certified Data Engineer.    This course will lay the foundation for what youll need in order to become a data engineer and pass the exam. In the course we will cover all the basics of the platform and be prepared to move into the more advanced data engineering specific courses.  Please keep in mind this course alone will not give you the knowledge and skills to pass the exam. The course will lay the foundation for what you'll need to know before you begin a more intensive study of the services specific to data on the Google Cloud Platform.                                                                  **Five Reasons to Take this Course**1) Google is the World Leader in Machine Learning Google knows data and they know big data. They work with some of the largest data sets in the world. They also have one of the largest data science teams on the planet. Companies that know data science know data engineering.  Google has been on the forefront of data exploration for years. 2) Occam's Razor Approach to TeachingLess is almost always more.  If you're serious about data engineering as a career you don't need or want your hand held for long periods of time.  You want the core of any subject and then you want to get your hands dirty. My courses are relatively short and to the point. You don't have time for filler and I don't believe in adding it. 3) Real World Instructor ExperienceI've been working with data for over two decades. I've authored books, created applications being used in the real world and have over 30 course on Udemy specific to data. I've worked with over 50 different companies as an employee or consultant. Data has been my life for two decades and all of that has been in the real world.  4) The Only Data Engineering Certification on the MarketI have to be honest with you. I'm not a huge fan of most mastorial programs for machine learning or data related degrees. There is still quite a gap between what colleges teach and what companies expect.  I believe certifications offer a better path into the real world of data and machine learning. A master's degree might get you the interview but hands on with the product and the certification will get you the job. 5) Limited Data Engineering CoursesAt the time I authored this course there are no other courses on the market that are dedicated to learning the skills you'll need for passing the Google certified data engineer exam.  My courses aren't specific to learning how to pass the exam. I want you to be able to pass the exam but more importantly I want you to be able to apply what you've learned in my courses in order to work with various real world data sets. "

"Managing Big Data on Google's Cloud Platform"
"Welcome to Managing Big Data on Google's Cloud Platform. This is the second course in a series of courses designed to help you attain the coveted Google Certified Data Engineer.Additionally, the series of courses is going to show you the role of the data engineer on the Google Cloud Platform.At this juncture the Google Certified Data Engineer is the only real world certification for data and machine learning engineers. NOTE: This is NOTa course on Big Data. This is a course on a specific cloud service called Google Cloud Dataproc.The course was designed to be part of a series for those who want to become data engineers on Google's Cloud Platform.This course is all about Google's Cloud and migrating on-premise Hadoop jobs to GCP.In reality, Big Data is simply about unstructured data. There are two core types of data in the real world. The first is structured data, this is the kind of data found in a relational database. The second is unstructured, this is a file sitting on a file system. Approximately 90% of all data in the enterprise is unstructured and our job is to give it structure. Why do we want to give it structure? We want to give is structure so we can analyze it. Recall that 99% of all applied machine learning is supervised learning. That simply means we have a data set and we point our machine learning models at that data set in order to gain insight into that data. In the course we will spend much of the time working in Cloud Dataproc. This is Googles managed Hadoop and Spark platform.Recall the end goal of big data is to get that data into a state where it can be analyzed and modeled. Therefore, we are also going to cover how to work on machine learning projects with big data at scale. Please keep in mind this course alone will not give you the knowledge and skills to pass the exam. The course will provide you with the big data knowledge you need for working with Cloud Dataproc and for moving existing projects to the Google Cloud Platform. *Five Reasons to take this Course.*1) The Top Job in the WorldThe data engineer role is the single most needed role in the world. Many believe that it's the data scientist but several studies have broken down the job descriptions and the most needed position is that of the data engineer.2) Google's the World Leader in DataAmazon's AWS is the most used cloud and Azure has the best UIbut no cloud vendor in the world understands data like Google. They are the world leader in open sources artificial intelligence. You can't be the leader in AI without being the leader in data.3) 90% of all Organizational Data is UnstructuredThe study of big data is the study of unstructured data. As the data in companies grows most will need to scale to unprecedented level. Without a significant investment in infrastructure and talent this won't be possible without the cloud.4) The Data Revolution is NowWe are in a data revolution.Data used to be viewed as a simple necessity and lower on the totem pole. Now it is more widely recognized as the source of truth. As we move into more complex systems of data management, the role of the data engineer becomes extremely important as a bridge between the DBA and the data consumer. Beyond the ubiquitous spreadsheet, graduating from RDBMS (which will always have a place in the data stack), we now work with NoSQL and Big Data technologies.5) Data is FoundationData engineers are the plumbers building a data pipeline, while data scientists are the painters and storytellers giving meaning to an otherwise static entity. Simply put, data engineers clean, prepare and optimize data for consumption. Once the data becomes useful, data scientists can perform a variety of analyses and visualization techniques to truly understand the data, and eventually, tell a story from the data.Thank you for your interest inManaging Big Data on Google's Cloud Platform and we will see you in the course!!"

"Serverless Data Analysis with Big Query on Google's Cloud"
"Welcome toServerless Data Analysis with Big Query on Google's CloudThis is thesecondcourse in a series of courses designed to help you attain the covetedGoogle Certified Data Engineer.Additionally, the series of courses is going toshow youthe role of thedata engineer on the Google Cloud Platform.At this juncture theGoogle Certified Data Engineeris the onlyreal world certificationfor data and machine learning engineers.Note: This is not a programmers course on BigQuery. The goal of this course and the entire series of courses is to provide students with the foundation of the services you'll need to know for the Google Certified Data Engineering Exam.Because SQL is a prerequisite for the course this course is mostly lecture. Don't let that lull to sleep though, this service is heavily covered on the exam.BigQuery is Google'sfully managed, petabyte scale, low cost enterprise data warehouse for analytics.BigQuery isserverless.There is no infrastructure to manage and you don't need a database administrator, so you can focus on analyzing data to find meaningful insights using familiar SQL.We are in a data revolution.Data used to be viewed as a simple necessity and lower on the totem pole. Now it is more widely recognized as the source of truth. As we move into more complex systems of data management, the role of the data engineer becomes extremely important as a bridge between the DBA, developer and the data consumer. Beyond the ubiquitous spreadsheet, graduating from RDBMS (which will always have a place in the data stack), we now work with NoSQL and Big Data technologies.Most cloud computing vendors are moving to a serverless architecture. What's serverless? Serverless is about abstracting users away from servers, infrastructure, and having to deal with low-level configuration or the core operating system. Instead, developers make use of single purpose services to execute code.Imagine for a second being able to upload data into a storage bucket and thenrun SQL like queries against it. Many data analysts call this the grail to data analysis. With BigQuery, that's exactly what you do. There's no spinning up or configuringanything.You upload data in the form of a csv or json file and an query against it. I don't mean a hundred thousand rows. I mean a billion. *Five Reasons to take this Course.*1) You Want to be a Data EngineerIt's the number one job in the world. (not just within the computer space)The growth potential career wise is second to none. You want the freedom to move anywhere you'd like. You want to be compensated for your efforts. You want to be able to work remotely. The list of benefits goes on.2) The Google Certified Data EngineerGoogle is always ahead of the game. If you were to look back at at timeline of their accomplishments in the data space you might believe they have a crystal ball. They've been a decade ahead of everyone. Now, they are the first and the only cloud vendor to have a data engineering certification. With their track record I'll go with Google.3)The Growth of Data is InsaneNinety percent of all the world's data has been created in the last two years. Business around the world generate approximately 450 billions transactions a day. The amount of data collected by all organizations is approximately 2.5 Exabytes a day. That number doubles every month.4) The Data Revolution is HereWe are in a data revolution.Data used to be viewed as a simple necessity and lower on the totem pole. Now it is more widely recognized as the source of truth. As we move into more complex systems of data management, the role of the data engineer becomes extremely important as a bridge between the DBA and the data consumer.5) You want to be ahead of the CurveThe data engineer role is fairly new.
