Sibusiso has been working at the warehouse of a large online retailer for a while now. He started working there while he was still making up his mind about what to study. Furthermore, he still had to save up to pay for his studies. He was determined to learn everything that there was to learn. He was working in fulfilment, carefully packing items into boxes before they were shipped all over the country. It was fun because he was always imagining what the look on the face of the recipient would be when they opened the box. Especially when the order was marked as a gift, and he got to gift wrap it. His favourite order ever was a giant pink teddy bear. It took some time to find a way to gift wrap it, but the end-product did not look like a bear. So, mystery preserved for a minute more before the gift wrap would be torn off by eager little hands. Best. Day. Ever! As much fun as that was, though, Sibusiso knew his future was in IT. The team upstairs that were building and maintaining the e-commerce website was the most important group of people in the whole company in his mind. Sure, you need fulfilment and procurement as well as human resources, finance, and marketing. However, without the website, the customers will not be able to place orders as a result nobody else would have anything to do. Whenever Sibusiso took a break, he was on the lookout for any group of IT people he could join to listen to what they were discussing. He soon realised that the database designers are the most interesting to him. They were always discussing ways to improve how data was stored and retrieved. That appealed to Sibusiso because he loved to create order out of chaos. Will you help him to learn more about database design?
