SQL for Data Science (and Version Control with GitHub)

The course follows SQL from environment setup through querying and more advanced analysis. Preparation, management and performance lead into a capstone. The title also includes GitHub, so preview that material if version control is an important part of your learning goal.

What you will learn

• Write queries with aggregation and joins.
• Apply more advanced SQL techniques to an analysis.
• Combine preparation and querying in a capstone task.

Who this suits

Beginning SQL learners. The provider does not specify detailed prerequisites.

Before you enroll

The published module outline emphasizes SQL more than GitHub. Check the current lessons before choosing it primarily as a version-control course.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Keep the queries for a fictional analysis in a versioned folder. Add a join, document its expected row count and review the change before rerunning the analysis.
