I wasn't comfortable recommending existing SQL tutorials to any friends or customers, especially for the non-engineers. It's such an important tool to learn that I've made a crack and making it much more approachable, both in the writing style and in the tool (SQLBox) embedded in the page that lets readers follow along with writing SQL against a live PostgreSQL instance with no setup required.

There are challenges built in and practice sections at the end of each segment. Any feedback/corrections/suggestions are hugely appreciated.

Any plans to Open Source SQLBox? Very seamless integration with the blog post!

Thanks! I've actually got plans to write a post or two about how it was built and open source it. It's a nice minimal example of a python server and a database connection.
