SQL for Data Analysis: Advanced SQL Querying Techniques (Udemy.com)

I think Udemy should add a full screen option there is no such option to zoom in the content to full screen. I mean seriously it's a small feature which you should consider adding. it's a coding course we need to see the codes clearly

Great course overall! Really enjoyed getting to learn these more advanced topics and it was a great course to really see thought breakdown and organization for each step! Only reason I did not give it full stars was because there were some typos, which I understand did get addressed (thank you for those updated notes) and once in a while the solutions to some problems were topics/code that we didn't go over in the course itself. I understand that learning new concepts is great, but personally, it would have been nice to have those solutions being used with what we went over specifically (either add it specifically in the teaching section or have another solution with the original concepts introduced). This happened very rarely to be fair and still a great course overall!!

Yes, the course adds to the skills I need for my job and reinforces foundational SQL concepts. I typically use the analysis elements more for finding patterns when I'm looking into an issue, but CTEs have become essential handling inserts/updates as well. I've also developed a better understanding of our workflows at my job, because so many things that go wrong start with an SQL script that is triggered on a user action, and it's missing a key JOIN or WHERE constraint, which causes compounding issues downstream. Usually, the problem is buried somewhere in the details of a large series of CTEs.

the cursor placements are sometimes a little annoying when trying to see whether there are commas etc in place. Otherwise I can't fault it. A bit quick, but I rant through this course with next to 0 prior SQL knowledge so had some learning to do as I went. For someone with prior SQL experience I imagine the speed is spot on. Only other thing I would have liked to have seen better explained is the way that the Data sources are loaded and the connection to the database etc. A bit more explanation around how and why this works would enable me to be better prepared for ingesting my own data and joining to my own sql source servers for future capability.

Maven courses consistently impress me, and this Advanced SQL course is no exception. It is exceptionally well structured, concise, practical, and easy to follow. There is no unnecessary filler—every lesson is purposeful, clearly explained, and focused on real-world application. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to strengthen their advanced SQL skills.

Alice was such a great instructor, the way the course was structured made sense and each section felt a bit more advanced than the last, this is the perfect course for going beyond select from where group by having order by. Explanations were clear with good examples and practice problems. As always Maven Analytics offers great value.

The pacing of this course was exactly what I needed to do some upskilling and fill in some knowledge gaps. What I appreciated the most was that it was not just a "watch and learn" approach, but the assignments really put you to the test. Also, the cadence of introducing a topic and then doing the demo, was very helpful to start with a birds-eye-view of the new material, and then a deep dive. Thank you!

This course goes through a wide range of functions and strategies to use in SQL. She explains the ideas well without taking too long, and uses examples to illustrate them. The assignments, demos, and the final project that I got to do myself were amazing and definitely helped me understanding everything a lot better.

Great pacing, straightforward and clear explanations. Prior to this course I was intimidated and confused by CTEs and had no idea what window functions were. Now I have a better understanding for using CTEs, subqueries, window functions and more. This course has made me feel more confident with continuing my SQL learning and practical application

This particular course with Maven Analytics is definitely a stepping stone for me in understanding how data analytics using SQL really works. Alice is a wonderful teacher, her short videos on YouTube made me fell in love with SQL all over again, and thats the reason why I persue this advance course, her way of explaining things is the easiest and most simplest way to understand. I highly recommend this course to anyone who has interest and willingness to pursue sql advance analytics.
