SQL Fundamentals on JetBrains Academy
We live in a world of data. Almost everyone works with data in some form or another. In particular, spreadsheets have become an essential part of our work and databases have become a business-critical asset. But what matters most is not the volume of data, but rather knowing how to derive insights from it. This makes SQL querying a great skill for data scientists, developers, marketers, researchers, and almost everyone else. More and more businesses are willing to hire such specialists to help them stay afloat in a world flooded with data.
To help you gain this in-demand job skill, we are happy to introduce our new track on JetBrains Academy – SQL Fundamentals!
