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.
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.
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:
Just sitting there. Waiting to be opened, read. For months already.
The sender, you ask? Me. Paul van der Laken.
A nuisance that guy, I tell you. He keeps sending me reminders, of stuff to do, books to read. Books he’s sure a more productive me would enjoy.
Now, I could wipe my inbox. Be done with it. But I don’t wan’t to lose this digital to-do list… Perhaps I should put them here instead. So you can help me read them!
Each of the below links represents a formidable book on programming! (I hear) And there are free versions! Have a quick peek. A peek won’t hurt you:

Applied Predictive Modelling – by Max Kuhn & Kjell Johnson
The books listed above have a publicly accessible version linked. Some are legitimate. Other links are somewhat shady. If you feel like you learned something from reading one of the books (which you surely will), please buy a hardcopy version. Or an e-book. At the very least, reach out to the author and share what you appreciated in his/her work. It takes valuable time to write a book, and we should encourage and cherish those who take that time.
