It's great. It felt like getting a quick, condensed lesson from an expert on only the most useful material. I read the whole book and worked through the exercises; using the weekend, it took me about a day and a half. The explanations also feel as if someone is talking you through them in person.
There are insights and analyses that only people working in a particular field can uncover. To learn them at the right time, you need the underlying data. Many companies now have data warehouses or marts to support data-driven decisions, but most professionals are not very comfortable extracting data with SQL. I think this book can bring you one step closer to developing the skills your organization needs.
Cho Eun-sung: Planner's SQL
Planners look at data differently from developers. Many professionals work with data, including planners, marketers, and office workers. Unlike developers, their goal is not to examine and analyze the data itself, but to draw business insights from it. Yet most SQL learning materials are still written from a developer's perspective, so planners end up studying material that is more complicated than they need. That's why they need an SQL guide written for them. The author, a former startup planner, taught themself by watching developers and began a data career by writing SQL queries to better understand the business, back when companies' data infrastructure was still limited. The author wrote this book to help planners, marketers, and other professionals in similar situations get started with SQL more easily. Begin learning SQL for planners with 116 examples commonly used on the job and practical guidance for using SQL at work.
