Free course: SQL for Data Science

Kirsten Kehrer from datamovesme.com does all kinds of super valuable stuff in SQL and end of 2019 she decided to share it with the world via a free SQL course.

The course is focused on data science and has 5 modules with video lectures:

Kirsten advises to take the course with dual monitors, as she also provides an online SQL query builder environment, where you can write your queries during the videos.

Moreover, Kirsten also published the slides and the code to go with the course, so you can really learn along:

A nice touch is that Kirsten simulated some data for a fictitious e-commerce company, that really allows you to get a feel for the type of data you’d be working with in practice:

Data Engineering Reading List, by Mapflat

Lars Albertsson, former software engineer at Spotify and Google and currently freelance data engineer via mapflat, maintains this list of data engineering resources. It includes many links to videos and courses about data pipelines, batch processing, Kafka, NoSQL, Clojure, Scala, Parquet, Luigi, Storm, Spark, Hadoop, Cassandra, and other tools I am not too familiar with. Looks like it could function as a great curated overview for starters.
