SQL

SQL is the standard relational data management language. We live in a data-driven world, and there are many businesses that store their information inside large, relational databases. This makes SQL a great skill not only for data scientists and engineers, but for anyone wanting to be data-literate.
Why we love it:
  • Easy to learn
  • Gets the job done
  • Quick and efficient
  • Versatile
