 == Building a Dataset using MySQL ==
-In this project, we will explore a few ways to gather data from Wikimedia and StackExchange projects using [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MySQL MySQL] and the [http://quarry.wmflabs.org/ Quarry] and [http://data.stackexchange.com/ Data Explorer] applications. Once we've done that, we will download the results of our queries in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values CSV format] which can be used to ask and answer questions and visualize data in the final session.
