Applied SQL For Data Analytics / Data Science With BigQuery
What you'll learn
- SQL 101: The basics (SELECT, WHERE, HAVING, JOIN's, dealing with dates and timestamps)
- [NEW] Google Analytics 4 and BigQuery - Master the data model and attribution
- SQL 202: Date Handling, CASE statements, Common Table Expressions, Subqueries, Correlated Subqueries
- Develop clear models of translating business requirements to SQL
- Master Window / Analytic Functions, which are the power tools of modern data-science SQL
- 100% of videos are code along and provide numerous points to stop and "solve it" before me.
Requirements
- Be able to write very basic SQL statements or at least understand what rows and columns are
- Have a google account since we use BigQuery
Description
Woah, another SQL course? Yes! Here's why this one is different.
We write 100% of the code together and I explain everything precisely and with abundant context. I have over a decade of industry experience over have taught this at the university level.
100% we do is application based. I rarely use toy data to illustrate points, unless it's more illustrative. Hopefully you'll learn much more than SQL throughout the course.
ZERO SET-UP. As long as you have a Google Account, you can login to BigQuery and get started immediately. No headaches configuring databases locally. You'll be up and running in under 3 minutes.
Spaced repetition to develop mastery. This is NOT a table of contents course. This is NOT a list of disparate exercises. Everything is connected. Concepts are revisited throughout the course so you can see them from different angles and maximize understanding.
Can you solve it? I provide tons of mini-challenges throughout the lecture material. The lecture material is basically us solving the problems. No time wasted on theory without context.
I'm not boring. I am human. I do make mistakes. I dwell on them so you can master the debugging process. Debugging is much more important than writing code.
Who this course is for:
- People with at least some SQL experience (you can write simple SELECT statements)
- Aspiring data scientists or data scientists who don't leverage SQL
- Data analysts
- Product managers who want to get better with DIY analysis.
- Developers who are interested in SQL!
- People interested in BigQuery that already know some SQL.
- Analysts needing to ramp up on GA4 BigQuery

Howdy! I'm Jeff James. I currently work as a Senior Data Scientist at one of the world's leading ed-tech companies, Quizlet, where I develop data-driven solutions to improve SEO traffic for one of the world's most popular websites.
I also have experience as an instructor at the University of Denver.
I love teaching and learning. I hope my passion for self-improvement and learning shines through in my courses. I also believe in contextualized learning and would never produce a "boring" course.
