MySQL Course Series

MySQL is the most well-known open source relational database management system. Many open source software platforms and frameworks include MySQL as the preferred database component. It's a popular choice for websites that need a backend database, and some notable examples include Facebook and YouTube. As it grows in features and stability, small and medium companies are adopting it for business use at an increasing rate. Commercial offerings and third-party support for MySQL are now common in the market.

UCSC Extension offers certificate programs in both Internet Programming and Database Systems. MySQL is highly valuable for students in both programs. In addition to our introductory course on the LAMP stack (or WAMP for Windows users), we now offer a series of MySQL courses for DBAs and developers who want to build professional knowledge and land jobs with companies that use MySQL. The MySQL Database Administration I and II courses offer students formal training and preparation for certification exams. MySQL Database for Developers and Designers builds in-depth understanding of the database with real-world case studies.

MySQL under Oracle remains a vibrant and popular database technology. Our unique MySQL course series is beneficial for DBAs, database designers, programmers, users and Web masters. Additional Oracle courses such as SQL Programming and Relational Database Essentials are also directly applicable to MySQL students.
