This session will cover the basics of SQL syntax for SQL newbies. No prior coding experience necessary!
SQL (Structured Query Language) can be useful to answer complex questions with data and make more informed decisions. We’ll do a short presentation on why and how to use SQL and then break out into small groups to get some hands-on practice with a NYC OpenData dataset.
By the end of this session, you should be familiar with some of the core terms and syntax used in SQL, and you’ll leave with some additional resources to continue practicing and learning.
