This is great!

I created http://sqlteaching.com , so it's wonderful to see Khan Academy's take. If anyone from KA would like to chat with me about SQL tutorials or anything else in general, feel free to reach out- rhc2104@columbia.edu

Wow, KA hits another one in the outfield!

The audio that highlights part of the code is awesome (much better than watching a passive video), and the fact that everything can be executed in real time is awesome. Good job!

I like that SQLBolt starts with querying (Khan does not). Even though a logical proceeding would start with CREATE and INSERT, many/most people will probably never do anything more than SELECT.

Imo every developer should be comfortable with sql, upto joins at least. Basic data modelling is also invaluable.

Serious question...what kind of developer can you be without knowing SQL?
