Whether you’re building your first app, navigating your first job, or just trying to make sense of all the data around you — learning SQL will save you hours and make you way more effective.
In this session, we’ll walk through the essentials of SQL in a hands-on, no-pressure format. You’ll connect to a real dataset (nothing fake or abstract), write actual queries, and start seeing patterns in data that were just noise before.
We’ll cover:
- Pulling and filtering rows (SELECT, WHERE)
- Sorting and slicing data (ORDER BY, LIMIT)
- Counting, summing, and grouping
- Joining multiple tables to build richer results
- Writing logic into your queries (CASE, filters, basic metrics)
This isn’t a lecture — it’s a working session. You’ll be querying from the start using a simple browser-based tool. No installs, no setup.
Who this is for:
If you’re early in your dev journey and want to be more fluent in data — this is for you. Even if you’ve never touched SQL. Even if you’ve forgotten everything from that one data class.
If you’re a few steps ahead, come sharpen your skills and help others along.
**Important**
Bring a laptop.
We will be using a web based tool so nothing to install.
