Big Query (BQ)
How does one get started with BigQuery? @simoahava answered "Take the SQL track on Mode Analytics. The From Data To Insights specialization on Coursera has quite a bit of BigQuery lessons (it’s self-paced and you’re in charge of how much you want to apply your learnings in the labs), but it does require a solid grasp of SQL basics.
