The database schema visualization tool from SQL Habit is open-source!

You can import and visualize your schema in 2 minutes, then spice it up with table and column descriptions.

Enjoy 🍻

A month ago, I began writing a blog post to help SQL Habit students in their job hunt. 7000 words later, here it is: https://t.co/SDK4NVLuGo

If you have a great hiring story, please reach out. I'll add it to the post 🚀

I love to play basketball, but it took me ages to make a connection: #NBA data is perfect to learn Data Analysis with #SQL.

Check out the newest dataset on SQL Habit 🏀 Can you guess the biggest point difference in a game?

Another Chrome extension I've built to stay focused on the web – Willpower.

It allows you to take a breath before visiting any page on the web.

It's highly customizable, open-source, and doesn't track any data.

In case you also find yourself in the Youtube rabbit hole, here's the remedy: hide recommendations. It works.

I've built a Chrome extension called that does exactly that. It's open-source and doesn't track anything.

⏱15-30 min
✏️3 exercise types
🏆detailed feedback in the end

@ps_610 My pleasure, @ps_610, thanks a lot for a shout out🙏

I'm sure it'll become "Feeling like SQL Expert" after you're done with the rest of the course and Practice exercises 🚀📈❤️

[Anatoli Makarevich @makaroni4]

💡 If you/your company are looking for passionate and data-savvy Analysts, Marketers and PMs – go to SQL Habit Job Board and publish your job ad.

👉 It's FREE and SQL Habit students will love it.

[Anatoli Makarevich @makaroni4]

The best thing about running SQL Habit is when students tell you about the impact – they landed a job, advanced in their careers, etc. 🚀

I want to help even more, happy to announce that SQL Habit Job Board is live!

I'd love to share the journey so far in a blog post or series. 💡

I have a bunch of SQL jokes, but I don’t know which one to SELECT 😅

[Anatoli Makarevich @makaroni4]

The best part of building SQL Habit is when students say that they've landed a job thanks to the course, it's ❤️

This is why I launch a big addition to the course – Mock Interviews 🚀
