Need to keep it more exciting than the usual data sets - how many purchase orders? how many kids in each class? 😪

I'm working on the interactive SQL lessons for the crash course now. You should see some of the ideas I've had for the data to base them on. Have to keep reminding myself that Linkin Park is classic rock to kids today, never mind Led Zep and Deep Purple.

My kids are voting for using the Marvel movies. Either that or My Little Pony but even I think that's a step too far.

Boring data exercises be gone.

<hastily heads to VS Code to delete all of the crappy purchase order-related SQL questions he'd already prepared...>

Uh oh I totally missed this comment at the time. :D

Just so you know, whenever I have Campaign Managers or Product Owners interested in learning SQL I send them your way as it's such an excellent introduction to the art of SQLing

Thanks Helen. Been getting some lovely feedback recently (mostly from your fine promotional work) so glad folks are getting some value from the lessons.

SQL is still far and away the most valuable language anyone interested in data analysis can pick up and we all have to start somewhere :-)
