When deciding on a lesson for my upcoming demo, I noticed that there were very few Library Carpentry lessons listed on the Instructor Training: Suggested Lessons for Teaching Demonstrations page. These lessons in the Extended Library Carpentry Curriculum have a live coding component that might serve well for someone doing their demo:

• Introduction to Python
• Introduction to R
• SQL

Thanks for this recommendation, @geospatial-gill.

@ErinBecker @tobyhodges Can you help address if this is possible or not?

Thanks for this suggestion @geospatial-gill! I agree that adding more options from the Library Carpentry curriculum is a good idea. The Introduction to Python and Introduction to R lessons are still in "alpha" status, which means they're not ready for broad-scale teaching yet. However, the SQL lesson is stable and therefore a good candidate to add to the suggested episodes.

I recommend the following: Good Starting Points

• Selecting and Sorting Data
• Filtering
• Ordering and Commenting
• Aggregating and Calculating Values
• Joins and aliases
• Saving queries
• Creating tables and modifying data

Avoid

• Database design
• Other database tools
• Extra-challenges
• Good style
