In this section, we'll prepare our programming environment for this course. 1
I'll show you where you can download the latest trial version of WinCC. 2
However, if you already have WinCC version eight or an earlier version, that's fine to use. 3
With this course, we'll also download Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, which will give us the 4
tools to create databases and learn SQL programming. 5
I'll show you how to import our class database, which has been pre-populated with tables and data. 6
We'll use this to begin learning the basics of SQL language. 7
And as a last step, you're going to write your first SQL query. 8
So let's get started.
