Our notes on LinkedIn Learning

We wrote these notes when we read the LinkedIn Learning site for our SQL comparisons. For each note, you see the day of our check and a link to the page that we read.

We give the label "Product's own words" to a note that holds only what LinkedIn Learning says about its own product.
