# 8 Week SQL Challenge



Welcome to my **8 Week SQL Challenge** repository! This challenge is part of the [Data With Danny](https://datawithdanny.com/) virtual data apprenticeship program, celebrating the launch of the Serious SQL course. My goal is to document my learning journey in SQL, build a robust personal portfolio, and share my progress with the community.



## What is the 8 Week SQL Challenge?



The 8 Week SQL Challenge is an initiative designed to help data professionals, particularly those new to SQL, to:



- Dedicate consistent time to learning SQL.

- Build and share a personal project portfolio on GitHub.

- Develop a strong online presence by regularly posting updates on social media.



This challenge is an opportunity to immerse yourself in SQL, enhance your skills, and connect with a community of like-minded individuals.



## How This Repository is Organized



This repository will be organized by weeks and case studies. Each week, I will focus on a different case study, and the work for each case study will be housed in its respective folder.



### Case Studies



Here are the case studies I will be working on throughout the challenge:



1. **Danny’s Diner**

2. **Pizza Runner**

3. **Foodie-Fi**

4. **Data Bank**

5. **Data Mart**

6. **Clique Bait**

7. **Balanced Tree Clothing Co.**

8. **Fresh Segments**



Each folder will contain the following:



- **SQL Queries:** The SQL scripts used to solve the case study problems.

- **Analysis:** A detailed explanation of my approach and insights gained from the analysis.

- **Visualizations:** Any visual representations of the data where applicable.

- **Learnings:** Key takeaways and learnings from each case study.



## Challenge Timeline



The beauty of this challenge is its flexibility – there’s no official start or end date. You can start and finish whenever you want, and the 8-week period is simply a guideline.



I plan to approach the challenge as follows:



- **Week 1-2:** Case Study #1 - Danny’s Diner

- **Week 3:** Case Study #2 - Pizza Runner

- **Week 4:** Case Study #3 - Foodie-Fi

- **Week 5:** Case Study #4 - Data Bank

- **Week 6:** Case Study #5 - Data Mart

- **Week 7:** Case Study #6 - Clique Bait

- **Week 8:** Case Study #7 - Balanced Tree Clothing Co.

- **Bonus Week:** Case Study #8 - Fresh Segments



## How to Get Started



1. **Follow the Challenge:**

   - Begin with the first case study and work your way through each one at your own pace.

   - Share your progress on LinkedIn using the hashtag #8WeekSQLChallenge.



2. **Explore SQL Resources:**

   - I will be exploring various SQL resources, including blogs, videos, and documentation to enhance my learning. You can find some of these resources [here](https://datawithdanny.com/resources).



3. **Engage with the Community:**

   - Comment on posts, ask questions, and connect with other participants. Collaboration and sharing are key to success in this challenge.
