Great, now the missing link is SQL. Why are none of the online code schools teaching such an essential skill required for web development?





Is knowing SQL still important for web development? I haven't used it in 5 years and feel I can land jobs regardless.


In many large web applications writing queries in your DBAL/whatever without being able to dive into the underlying query and understand what's going on, I'd say it's pretty crucial. For anything small (complexity or expected traffic) you can probably get by without?


Because NoSQL!
