You need this skill if you want to become a Java Dev

You don't need a computer science degree to land a job in Irish tech, but you do need to understand data.

There are over 1,400 active tech roles in Ireland right now requiring SQL skills, with starting salaries for juniors often hitting €52,000+. Yet, most career switchers miss out because they get stuck on "basic coding" instead of mastering the logic that runs enterprise systems.

In this video, I’m demystifying SQL. I’ll show you why it’s not a complex programming language, but a powerful, intuitive tool that acts as your gateway to a high-paying, stable career in software development.

This isn't a theory-heavy database course. This is a practical, direct guide to the SQL essentials you actually need to survive your first Irish tech interview. We go hands-on with Postgres to create tables, manage data, and write queries—skills that will set you apart from every other candidate without a tech background.
