    I really like Google courses for their labs and real hands-on experience. If you're interested in basics of BigQuery, it's hard to imagine a better introduction. Nothing more here, but perfect as an entry-level course, explaining what's BQ and how it works. As Google tools evolve quickly, prepare for some minor differences, which may be a bit challenging here and there, if you don't know the tools.
