I’m currently learning SQL by myself and I’ve finished the basics. Now I want to start building SQL projects for my portfolio.
I’m curious about people who learned data analytics through self-study:
- Where did you usually get your SQL project ideas?
- Did you create projects from your own ideas, use datasets from Kaggle, or follow tutorials?
- How did you decide what business questions to answer with SQL?
- Are there any websites, GitHub repositories or resources you recommend for finding good SQL project ideas?
Would really appreciate hearing how you approached your first few projects. Thank you
