One of the best courses to learn SQL in very fun and simple way. I already have knowledge with SQL and the course explained multiple confusing things about SQL in very good way

Really good intro course. Not too hard but not too hand-holdy either.

Speaking as someone who was already familiar with the fundamentals of programming in other languages, this was a great way to learn the basics of Python and it's syntax as well as learn some different programming methodologies.

The course is good, but I skipped the concurrency part. Study the course along with a reference book to get the most out of it.
