December 1, 2025

If you’re starting out or interested in learning data analytics, here are a few resources I found useful for self-learning.

  1. Kenji Explains / freeCodeCamp (Excel & Sheets tutorials)
  2. CS50x2025 / Programming with Mosh tutorial (Python & SQL introduction)
  3. Odin Project - Databases course (database and SQL basics)
  4. SQL Teaching (basic SQL exercises)
  5. pgexercises.com (advanced postgreSQL exercises)
  6. W3Schools (quick reference for Python, SQL, statistics, Sheets syntax)
  7. SQL Murder Mystery game (when you get bored, learning SQL through a fun game)
  8. Tableau community learning resources (simple, quick Tableau tutorials)
  9. CodeBat (Python practice)
  10. Claude.ai for more information about topics, clarification, or debugging.

Recommended Learning Path

Spreadsheets → SQL → BI → Python

Along the way, learn data structures, algorithms, probability, and statistics.

Learn the concept, then start doing exercises. When you get stuck, understand the problem and figure out how to solve it. This experience of solving problems yourself is what actually matters.
