| 125 | 4113 | Interviewing your data with SQL **pre-registered attendees only | Skill level: Intermediate If you flip over pivot tables, but wish you had more data tools, this session is for you. Structured Query Language, or SQL, can help you use powerful filtering functions, find patterns in millions of records and join multiple data tables. This class will be taught by two experienced data reporters and former IRE trainers, and materials will include the IRE Computer-Assisted Reporting boot camp binder, full of exercises, cheat sheets and tips to help you boost your data analysis and storytelling skills. We will use a free database manager that can be easily installed and used on any computer. Preregistration is required and seating is limited. Laptops will be provided for the training. Workshop prerequisites: The only prerequisites are a reasonable comfort level with using a spreadsheet. No previous SQL skills necessary. This class takes place on Thursday, March 7 from 2:15-5:45 p.m. and continues Friday, March 8, 9 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. (Registration for this session reserves your seat for both days of this workshop and attendees are expected to attend both sessions to complete the workshop.) | 15 | 2019-03-07 | 2019-03-07 14:15:00 | 2019-03-07 17:45:00 | 1 | 1 | 0 | Liz Lucas, Kaiser Health News; Megan Luther, InvestigateTV | 3 | 2 | Interviewing your data with SQL *pre-registered attendees only |
