TOP REVIEWS FROM INTRODUCTION TO STRUCTURED QUERY LANGUAGE (SQL)
Great coursera, So much to learn but hard to catch(It was totally new to me). I mean, really, a few days ago, I didn't even knew what SQL was and now I am getting it.\n\nThank you very much.......
Professor Severance is top notch. He keeps the pace fast and the lessons bite sized. I've tried other SQL courses and dropped out because none of the others were as easy to understand and engaging.
