Hey there, I’m Bogdan, your instructor, and I’ll be your guide in this amazing journey of understanding SQL and BigQuery.

Throughout my experience as a Data Analyst (working in industries like Fintech, Gambling and Wholesale), I've realized that SQL it's not just about querying data; it's about understanding and managing it efficiently.

My journey has been filled with learning, and now, I'm excited to share that knowledge with you.

Whether you're a beginner or you have some domain experience, this course will equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to succeed in the world of data.

In this course, we'll cover everything from the basics of SQL and BigQuery to a bit more advanced techniques for data analysis and manipulation; with a practical focus, trying to mimic real world situations that I, personally, have encountered.

More concrete, we will cover topics like:

  1. Selecting specific data from a table

  2. Filtering and sorting

  3. Aggregating data to summarize information

  4. Joining multiple tables

  5. Creating new tables and many more

By the end of this course, my hope is that you will learn to love SQL! See you at the next lecture!

Who this course is for:

  • Beginner data analysts who want to learn the fundamentals of SQL and BigQuery to start analyzing data and solving business problems.
  • Professionals from various industries who want to gain hands-on experience using SQL and BigQuery to improve their decision-making and data-driven problem-solving abilities.
