Not to worry – our very own [Paul Buffa](https://observablehq.com/@pstuffa?tab=profile) will make SQL easy to learn and perhaps even _fun._\n\nIn this course, you’ll learn the SQL basics for pulling and wrangling data, including: the main SQL clauses (SELECT, FROM, WHERE, GROUP BY, etc.), aggregation functions, joins, window functions and how to impress your friends and colleagues with lightning fast queries.
