5、Process Planning in Life and DataCamp Donates Scholarship through Women in Big Data Chapter 2 Proces

　　I once said that I would share my learning progress with readers to give them a specific demonstration of "process planning". I have listened to some courses on the DataCamp platform intermittently in the past three days, so I think it is time to start.
　　I have personally learned some knowledge in the computer field, but I prefer computer hardware. I have not studied database technology specifically. I only know that database technology is widely used in the business field: I obtained a bachelor's degree in economics more than ten years ago, and big data is too important for economic development. Anyone with professional knowledge in economics, even if they do not understand programming languages, will more or less know something about big data.
　　Under this premise, according to the "process planning" working method, I did not start from the most basic course, but directly clicked on a slightly more advanced course. There are two reasons for doing this:
　　1. Not starting from the most basic course is to measure whether I am interested in this knowledge. Learning a new technology requires a lot of time. The sooner I find out that I don’t like what I’m learning, the more I can avoid wasting time. Moreover, this learning opportunity is very valuable. If I can’t make good use of it, I should give it to someone who really likes it.
　　2. I only start with slightly more advanced courses to assess my level of knowledge in this area. I regard "learning SQL courses on DataCamp" as a work task, and one of the purposes of "process planning" is to maximize efficiency and shorten task time. If I can easily understand slightly more advanced courses, I can skip the most basic SQL common sense learning part and shorten the completion time of this work task.
　　Fortunately, although I didn’t understand what the teacher was saying at all, I found that I was still interested in this course.
　　Please don't get me wrong, I don't mean that the teacher is not good. On the contrary, the teacher of my first course on Datacamp, Ms. Maham Faisal Khan, was very detailed and serious. Unfortunately, I didn't know anything about SQL (I got a score of 0 in the first test I took on the website), which made me more eager to learn about SQL.
　　So, I started to do what I could do at the moment: to find all the basic knowledge about SQL that I could find, select the parts that I could understand to learn, and increase my knowledge of SQL technology, such as some professional terms, concepts and definitions.
　　And this is one of the preliminary work of starting a task with "process planning": measuring the degree of adaptation between myself and the task.

　　我曾经说过要把自己的学习进度分享给读者，给读者一个“流程规划”的具体示范。这三天断断续续听了一些DataCamp平台的课程，我觉得是时候开始了。
　　我个人学过一些计算机领域的知识，但我更喜欢计算机硬件，没有专门研究过数据库技术，只知道数据库技术在商业领域应用很广泛：我十多年前就获得了经济学学士学位，大数据对于经济发展太重要了。任何有经济学专业知识的人，即使不懂编程语言，也或多或少对大数据有所了解。
　　在这个前提下，按照“流程规划”的工作方式，我没有从最基础的课程开始，而是直接点开了稍微高级一点的课程。这样做的原因有两个：
　　1.不从最基础的课程开始，是为了衡量自己是否对这门知识感兴趣。学习一门新技术需要很多时间。越早发现自己不喜欢所学的东西，越能避免浪费时间。而且，这个学习机会非常宝贵，如果不能好好利用，就应该让给真正喜欢的人。
　　2. 我只从稍微高级一点的课程开始，以评估自己在这方面的知识水平。我把“在DataCamp上学习SQL课程”视为一项工作任务，“流程规划”的目的之一就是最大化效率，缩短任务时间。如果我能轻松理解稍微高级一点的课程，我就可以跳过最基本的SQL常识学习部分，缩短这项工作任务的完成时间。
　　幸好，虽然我完全听不懂老师在说什么，但我发现我对这门课程还是很感兴趣的。
　　请不要误会，我并不是说老师不好。相反，我在Datacamp上的第一门课程的老师Maham Faisal Khan女士讲课非常细致、认真。可惜的是，我对 SQL 一无所知（我在网站上第一次测试就得了 0 分），这更激发了我学习 SQL 的热情。
　　于是，我开始做我当时能做的事情：把能找到的所有 SQL 基础知识都找来，选自己能看懂的部分去学习，增加自己对 SQL 技术的了解，比如一些专业术语、概念和定义。
　　而这也是用“流程规划”开始一项任务的前期工作之一：衡量自己和任务的适应程度。
