Lifetime Learning

A lovely Saturday:

A perfect day for some refreshment:

Studying http://philip.greenspun.com/teaching/rdbms-iap-2011

Why?  (And, why now?)  Relational databases and SQL have been around for forty years.  Yet, no reasonable business person would disagree that:

1. it's useful to know how to use spreadsheet software, both to DIY and manage others who do;

2. there's much more information out there today;

3. harnessing this information is not only advantageous but essential;

4. more powerful tools like database management systems are necessary for this.

Therefore, business people should know a little bit about these more powerful tools, to continue to be considered reasonable.
