Data Carpentry's teaching is hands-on, so participants are encouraged to use their own computers to ensure the proper setup of tools for an efficient workflow. These lessons assume no prior knowledge of the skills or tools, but working through this lesson requires working copies of the software described below. To most effectively use these materials, please make sure to install everything before working through this lesson.
SQL is a specialized programming language used with databases. We use a simple database manager called SQLite in our lessons. We will use SQLite Manager plugin for Firefox. If you don't have Firefox installed, you need to install it first and then you will be able to add the plugin.
