Introduction to SQL
May 2, 2018 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

About This Workshop
SQL provides powerful but reasonably simple tools for data analysis and handling. This workshop will take absolute beginners through the basics of SQL to an ability to write common types of queries with confidence. We will use a combination of lecture and in-class exercises to ensure that students leave with a working grasp of SQL fundamentals.
Prereqs & Preparation
Basic technical aptitude and orientation to computers, and curiosity to learn new tools. Willingness to learn about a text-based/principle driven analytic tool with little real GUI support, and determination to push through the natural frustration of confronting new concepts.
We will be pausing to let students run and write queries of their own, using a database we will set up in advance. No programming experience required; the only prerequisite is experience with a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, OpenOffice Calc, etc. All students must have a personal computer with a modern web browser to access in-class exercises.
