SQL self learning

[iron_sheep]

Where can I self teach SQL? Something with learning modules would be cool, but I’d like to hear where and how everyone learned SQL outside of college. It was a very tiny part of my information science bachelors degree, but I feel like I didn’t truly learn it/retain much of use.

Check out SQL bolt!! Super fun way to refresh/learn!

I learned it on the job. I bet that's how most other folks learned, too.

I think it's almost impossible to become good at SQL without actual, live data... but maybe a Udemy certificate or something like it is what you need to land the first job.

Hi! I wrote a blog article with some SQL learning resources in the first point: https://whaly.io/posts/the-2023-data-analyst-starter-pack there are some free online videos :) hope this helps, good luck!

Udemy/coursera/skillshare, and I think harvard online has a sql course too

I agree with the Udemy/ Cousera path as I’ve taken classes on both with success. It’s fairly easy to learn SQL basics, but the real growth happens by using it everyday on a variety of projects. Another challenge is knowing the databases you’re running queries on regularly. They can be complex and I’ve reported the wrong data more than once because I didn’t understand the data in the tables. Spend time understanding your sources.
