SQL (Structured Query Language) is the most popular language for data scientists and analysts. In this interactive workshop, you'll learn to extract and analyze data stored in databases.

Companies store their data in a database, and SQL is a common database query language that helps you to build your database, retrieve the data, and work with that data in a structured manner.

In this course, you'll learn to extract and analyze data stored in databases. You'll first learn to extract data and work with simple queries to pull specific data you need for your analysis. Join us for a fun interactive workshop that will get you on your way to using SQL.
