I’m just starting to learn SQL and I’m looking for some solid websites or apps that are beginner-friendly. Ideally, I’d like something interactive or hands-on rather than just reading theory. I’m not aiming to become a full-on data engineer—just want to get comfortable writing queries, understanding databases, and maybe do some small projects.
Any recommendations for platforms (free or paid) that helped you when you were starting out?
Thanks in advance
Avatar Codecademy offers an interactive and beginner-friendly SQL course with immediate feedback. Khan Academy provides a gentle, well-explained introduction with hands-on exercises. Mode Analytics has a practical SQL tutorial designed specifically for data analysis. SQLBolt is another great option that walks you through short lessons with in-browser execution. And W3Schools gives clear explanations and an online SQL editor to try queries as you learn.
SQL is a super valuable skill, even if you’re not aiming to be a data engineer. For interactive, hands-on learning, there are various free and paid resources available online. One of my friends enrolled in Simplilearn’s SQL Certification Course and told me that it’s worth it.
