I've learned that Google has a place to practice SQL, wonderful, Kaggle has a wonderful place to practice python and R, which is more portable than having those on your computer/laptop.

Hallie is an Excellent instructor, she made the course full of life. The only thing I'm not sure about is using Bigquery. I followed the video steps and still couldn't pin my dataset.
