Ever wondered how to use SQL? In this beginner-friendly workshop, we’ll use SQLite to learn the basics of SQL, from writing simple queries to analysing trends.

To get the most out of the workshop, please complete the following setup beforehand:
- Install DB Browser for SQLite or another SQLite database browser of your choice
