Managing Data with SQLite – Wednesday the 26th of July from 4.00pm

Secretary
Computer Science, Events, PD / PL

Masterclass

Chris AndersonThis MasterClass will give participants the chance to explore the SQLite database engine to deliver ATAR Computer Science.

SQLite is a full featured and self-contained SQL database engine that is highly portable and does not require the use of a server. Supported by a wide range of programming languages, including Python, it is the perfect vehicle for teaching database development in an interesting and realistic manner.

We will start with a brief introduction to SQLite and its power, before diving in and engaging in a number of hands-on activities to see just how easy it is to use.

In developing a simple relational database we will explore how the core concepts from the ATAR syllabus can be implemented.

Once we have developed an understanding of the power of SQLite we will explore how we can combine SQLite with Python3 to develop meaningful, open-ended projects that will extend even the best students.
