"Welcome to PostgreSQL Exercises! This site was born when I noticed that there's a load of material out there to help people learn about SQL, but not a great deal to make it easy to learn by doing. PGExercises provides a series of questions and explanations built on a single, simple dataset. It's designed for use as a partner to a good book or Postgres' excellent documentation."

"Recently I started looking into Python's new asyncio module a bit more. The reason for this is that I needed to do something that works better with evented IO and I figured I might give the new hot thing in the Python world a try. Primarily what I learned from this exercise is that I it's a much more complex system than I expected and I am now at the point where I am very confident that I do not know how to use it properly. It's not conceptionally hard to understand and borrows a lot from Twisted, but it has so many elements that play into it that I'm not sure any more how the individual bits and pieces are supposed to go together. Since I'm not clever enough to actually propose anything better I just figured I share my thoughts about what confuses me instead so that others might be able to use that in some capacity to understand it."
