Mastering Data Modeling Fundamentals

This course, one of the best online modeling courses, is for you if you are a current or aspiring IT professional looking for sound, practical techniques to analyze and model data as part of the overall data management lifecycle.

Throughout the course, you'll apply what you've learned by defining sample data model segments in both "classic" entity-relationship notation and "crow's foot" notation to highlight the best practices and techniques covered. Each section contains either scenario-based quiz questions or hands-on assignments that emphasize the material's key learning objectives. As a result, you can be confident that you're learning the most important aspects of data modeling as you progress through the course.

To build this course, the instructor drew from more than 30 years of his own work involving data modeling and related disciplines. Long ago, in the late 1980s, he was a software engineer at what was then the world’s second largest computer systems vendor, Digital Equipment Corporation. He wrote software for a “conceptual and logical database design tool” - in other words, a data modeling tool.

In this course, he'll take you through the fundamentals and concepts of data modeling, as well as a variety of best practices and techniques that you'll need to build data models in your organization. There are numerous examples throughout the course that clearly demonstrate the key concepts and techniques covered. By the end of the course, you'll be ready to not only put these principles into practice, but also to make the key data modeling and design decisions that the "art" of data modeling necessitates, decisions that go beyond the nuts-and-bolts techniques and design patterns.

Who this course is for:

• A business analyst, data engineer, or database designer, currently with little or no exposure to or experience with data modeling, who desires to build a personal toolbox of data modeling best practices and techniques.
• After completing this course, you will be ready to begin working on real-world data modeling projects, either with expanded responsibilities as part of an existing role or to find a new position involving data modeling.

Requirements

• Students only need a basic understanding of data management concepts and constructs such as relational database tables and how different pieces of data logically relate to one another. The course content builds on these rudimentary ideas; no other prerequisites are needed.
