Crear tablas de bases de datos relacionales con SQLiteStudio
Al final de este proyecto guiado, crearás una base de datos relacional y realizarás la gestión de los datos usando SQLite. SQLite es un gestor de bases de datos relacional, cuyo código fuente es de dominio público y gratuito para cualquier propósito. SQLite colabora con el almacenamiento de datos cuando hacemos aplicaciones con lenguajes como Python, Java, C#, C, C++, Delphi etc. En la actualidad, cualquier organización por pequeña que sea, debe contar con una Base de Datos, puesto que los datos son el más grande activo. Sin embargo, no se trata solo de almacenar millones de datos si no de como se gestionan. A lo largo de este proyecto desarrollarás tareas paso a paso, que te permitirán comprender y aplicar los comandos necesarios para la creación de tablas de bases de datos relaciones, utilizando el lenguaje SQLite. Cabe resaltar que usaremos SQLiteStudio como gestor de bases de datos SQLite. Comenzaremos con la creación de la base datos y las tablas requeridas, para el proyecto. Mientras avanzamos conocerás como realizar la relación entre las tablas, insertar datos y hacer consultas de la información. Este proyecto es de nivel intermedio y está planeado para desarrolladores, administradores de bases de datos y personas que deseen aprender a crear tablas para bases de datos utilizando SQLiteStudio. Cada tarea del proyecto te facilitará la aplicación de los conocimientos adquiridos y al finalizar tendrás la habilidad de gestionar bases de datos de manera efectiva con SQLiteStudio. Aprender SQLite te permitirá tener un perfil más atractivo al momento de aplicar en ofertas laborales. Las empresas necesitan cada vez más trabajadores con experiencia en gestión de datos y análisis de información.

Collaborative Robot Safety: Design & Deployment
As robots evolve and increasingly interact with humans, enhancing the safety of personnel working with these “collaborative robots” (cobots) is vital. This course equips you to assess the safety of a collaborative robot workcell and prevent the chances of injury or harm. It imparts industry-endorsed safety standards, technical report recommendations and best practices from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), Robotic Industries Association (RIA) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Learners are introduced to similarities and differences between traditional robots, cobots and conventional machinery before delving into risk assessments, causes of robot accidents and collaborative applications. Material also includes key design techniques for reducing collision forces and a methodology for safety testing. Main concepts are delivered through videos, demos and hands-on exercises.

Working with Subqueries in SQL
Welcome to this project-based course, Working with Subqueries in SQL. In this project, you will learn how to use SQL subqueries extensively to query tables in a database. By the end of this 2-and-a-half-hour-long project, you will be able to use subqueries in the WHERE clause, FROM clause, and the SELECT clause to retrieve the desired result from a database. In this project, we will move systematically by first introducing the use of subqueries in the WHERE clause. Then, we will use subqueries in the FROM and SELECT clause by writing slightly complex queries for real-life applications. Be assured that you will get your hands really dirty in this project because you will get to work on a lot of exercises to reinforce your knowledge of the concept. Also, for this hands-on project, we will use PostgreSQL as our preferred database management system (DBMS). Therefore, to complete this project, it is required that you have prior experience with using PostgreSQL. Similarly, this project is an advanced SQL concept; so, a good foundation for writing SQL queries is vital to complete this project. If you are not familiar with writing queries in SQL and want to learn these concepts, start with my previous guided projects titled “Querying Databases using SQL SELECT statement," and “Mastering SQL Joins.” I taught these guided projects using PostgreSQL. So, taking these projects will give the needed requisite to complete this Working with Subqueries in SQL project. However, if you are comfortable writing queries in PostgreSQL, please join me on this wonderful ride! Let’s get our hands dirty!

Features and Boundaries
This course focuses on the detection of features and boundaries in images. Feature and boundary detection is a critical preprocessing step for a variety of vision tasks including object detection, object recognition and metrology – the measurement of the physical dimensions and other properties of objects. The course presents a variety of methods for detecting features and boundaries and shows how features extracted from an image can be used to solve important vision tasks. We begin with the detection of simple but important features such as edges and corners. We show that such features can be reliably detected using operators that are based on the first and second derivatives of images. Next, we explore the concept of an “interest point” – a unique and hence useful local appearance in an image. We describe how interest points can be robustly detected using the SIFT detector. Using this detector, we describe an end-to-end solution to the problem of stitching overlapping images of a scene to obtain a wide-angle panorama. Finally, we describe the important problem of finding faces in images and show several applications of face detection.
