Suggestion Req for Best SQL Courses
« on: February 27, 2023, 06:54:10 AM »
Hello this is Gulshan Negi
I am a software developer. I've recently started learning SQL, and I'm currently reading SQL for Dummies and The Art of SQL book to learn SQL. Should I take any SQL courses to enhance my skills, Is taking a SQL course really helpful? If yes, then which course should I take?
I need some suggestions on this.
Thanks

Hey Gulshan! It’s great that you’re diving into SQL. While books like "SQL for Dummies" and "The Art of SQL" provide solid foundational knowledge, taking a course can offer structured learning and hands-on practice that books sometimes lack. Consider platforms like Coursera or Udemy; they have courses tailored for different skill levels. A highly-rated one is “The Complete SQL Bootcamp” on Udemy, which covers both basics and advanced topics with real-world projects. Additionally, interactive platforms like LeetCode or Codecademy can be really helpful for practicing SQL queries. Good luck, and happy learning!
