A new video is up for my Data Patrons and above!! This is a behind the scenes look at the redrafting of the 2003 NBA draft using SQL.



It makes for a great data project if you're looking for ideas or are just curious to see who goes second after LeBron James. Thank you for supporting the channel!!

This is a thank you post to everyone who has subscribed to my channel over the many years.

I can tell you that when I first started this journey, 250 subscribers seemed out of reach. It has definitely been a marathon and not a sprint.

It has taken a lot of time, effort, and plenty of late nights, but every step was worth it.

I still profess that no one on the internet provides the step by step detail I provide in regard to complex dashboard building.

Experimenting and/or reverse engineering, documenting the steps, teaching the steps, recording and editing the videos; it takes a tremendous amount of effort for a 1 man team and I’m thankful that you appreciate this.

Especially my channel members 😉

To everyone who’s watched, liked, shared, or even just paused to learn something new; thank you! You are the reason my YouTube channel thrives and evolves!

The new video is out this morning (8am Eastern U.S. time) and available for all my channel subscribers, as it has moved from member preview to public. https://youtu.be/bQobKvmills

If you have never used an agentic AI code editor for SQL data analysis, then you need to check this video out.

Tools like Windsurf AI and represent the future of data analysis. But you'll still need to know how to code!

My new 41-minute video on redrafting the 2018 NBA draft using SQL vibecode is finally finished!!
https://youtu.be/bQobKvmills

It's available as an early preview for all Data Patrons and Boosters who support the channel and who I am dearly thankful for their support.

I had a blast using Windsurf (which is an agentic IDE) to code my way to selecting a better order for that all-time draft class. Watch the video because tools like Windsurf will eventually be required knowledge for data professionals in the workplace.

Who were the top 5 picks in the redraft? Please check out the video by becoming a member or wait until release sometime next week. Just make sure to please give it a like. Thank you!

I'll be learning some new tricks in Business Analytics this fall and of course I'll be sure to share that new knowledge with you!
