Database Programming That Actually Makes Sense
We started teaching SQL back when spreadsheets ruled everything. Now we help people build real systems that handle actual data problems. No fluff—just the fundamentals you need to work with databases professionally.

How We Got Here
Neotecsys started because someone needed better database training for their team. That was 2019. Things grew from there.
Founded in Taipei with three instructors and a curriculum focused on PostgreSQL. We taught our first cohort in a borrowed office space.
Expanded to cover MySQL and NoSQL systems. Started working with local tech companies on custom training programs.
Launched advanced courses in database optimization and architecture. Over 800 students had gone through our programs by this point.
Now running both in-person and remote programs. We've helped train teams at 40+ companies across Taiwan's tech sector.
Where We're Headed
Database work keeps changing. Cloud platforms add new options every year. Performance requirements keep climbing. And honestly? Most educational programs don't keep up.
What Makes Database Programming Different
You can learn SQL syntax in a week. But understanding how databases actually work—how they store data, execute queries, handle concurrent access—that takes longer. And it matters more than people think.
Query Performance
We spend a lot of time on execution plans and indexing strategies. Because a query that works in testing might crawl in production.
Data Modeling
How you structure your schema affects everything downstream. We teach you to think through these decisions before you're stuck with them.
Transaction Handling
Concurrency and consistency aren't theoretical problems. Students work through real scenarios where race conditions break things.
System Architecture
Understanding when to use relational vs. document stores, how caching layers work, and when denormalization makes sense.
From Someone Who Went Through It
I came in knowing basic SQL from university courses. But I'd never really understood why certain queries were slow or how to fix them properly. The optimization module changed how I approach database work completely. Now I can actually troubleshoot performance issues instead of just guessing. Three months after finishing the program, my team promoted me to lead our database migration project.
