How to Become a Master Builder of 4D Databases

Nine lesson self study course that guides you from beginner to becoming a master at building 4D databases. By the end of this weekend course you'll be able to think through, iterate, communicate, implement, and maintain 4D databases from a structural, documented, and scaleable standpoint. How? By learning how a database should be designed by using DataPulse© as you're learning the art of data modeling.

In this course here's what you'll learn

  • How to think like a master data modeler -- yes, there is a mindset that can make it easier.
  • Why understanding your clients needs, conceptually, is the critical first step -- and the one that, even the pro's, most often skip. But you won't!
  • How to communicate with your client during analysis so that you both get it right.
  • How to design iteratively -- working outward from your client's needs to a database view -- without ever needing 4D.
  • Why you'll never be concerned about deleting tables or reordering fields again.
  • How to reverse engineer, modularize, and understand any 4D database structure.
  • How to create professional quality design documentation that your client will thank you for.
  • How to apply the “rules” of data simplification and how and when it's the right time to break them.
  • How to identify and use data patterns -- and why they'll save you tons of time.
  • How dataPulse© will help you do all the above and so much more...
