It was very methodical and sometimes challenging, but I never came close to giving up, thanks to all the help available.

Absolutely amazing course. I knew some SQL, enough not to die at work. But coming from a front-end-first background this helps a lot to dig deeper into how to use a relational database. I'm always forgetting the freaking syntax, so now that I have everything fresh I'll do a 3 months practice including PostgreSQL API

its a useful course if you're new to SQL or need to reinforce fundamentals. The explanations and practice problems are solid. It doesn't go as far in-depth on advanced joins and optimizations as I would have liked though.

It's okay. This ain't a bad course. Don't get me wrong. But, you guys are doing something very mediocre. :)

It helped me to build my fundamentals but I think to do a hands on project you should have other sources too!
