I'd start with CMU's "Intro to Database Systems", their lectures are on youtube. Highly recommended both for the depth and how Andy Pavlo presents the topic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeYBdghaIjc&list=PLSE8ODhjZX...



This amazing course is not about using database systems, but about making them.


What do you recommend for aggregating and scraping the data? I’ve been working with PyCharm and BeautifulSoup4.

Also, any suggestions for the best ways to apply the data to a website if the data is being refreshed daily? I’ve been using csv files to pass the variables into a Wordpress theme / post but it seems like building something from scratch would be more efficient in the long term.
