About the Course
Discover how to build efficient, data-driven applications using SQL, the foundational language of relational databases. This course offers a professional, hands-on introduction to SQL, designed for beginners eager to work with data effectively and confidently.
SQL, or Structured Query Language, is the industry-standard tool for managing and querying relational databases. With its straightforward yet powerful syntax, SQL enables developers to retrieve, analyze, and manipulate data efficiently. Whether you're filtering large datasets, automating complex data tasks, or structuring data for accessibility and scalability, SQL is an essential skill in today’s data-driven environment.
Common use cases for SQL include querying databases to retrieve specific information, analyzing trends and patterns within datasets, updating and managing records in real time, and powering data-driven features in web applications, dashboards, and reports. SQL also supports automation through stored procedures and scripting, streamlining workflows and reducing manual overhead.
In this interactive Scrimba course, you'll write SQL queries against the database of a retro car store, solving practical coding challenges as you go. By the end, you’ll have built a solid foundation in SQL and developed the skills to work effectively with real-world databases.

I pull back my prior reviews and give it a 5 star. Note it does require a subscription to complete. Unless I was missing something, but it wasn't made clear if I was. I have fully jumped into Scrimba platform and it is the best coding experience for learning I have ever come across in the past 10 years.

must pay for Scrimba to complete the hands on portion. Coursea should not advertise this as a included course if with Coursea plus you must pay for it. DUMB
