SWQL Study Group for the complete novice - thoughts?

Thia is a great idea, and I like the thought of classes. I'm in SWQL studio daily, always building queries so it'd be fun to see how SolarWinds, the community, and/or Thwack MVP's could all contribute. I'd like to help in some fashion if possible. 

I've put a bunch of queries of my own out in the Content Exchange. https://thwack.solarwinds.com/content-exchange/the-orion-platform/m/custom-queries - those are just scratching the surface of queries I've crafted. I use SWQL Studio every day to extrapolate data from SolarWinds.

However with the dependence of building your own data structures in Modern Dashboards, I believe it'd be prudent for SolarWinds to start something. KMSigma.SWI has truly a lot of great content that will help, and had I not got into SQL prior to SWQL I might have been struggling myself...

My 2 cents (for what its worth) would be to offer some official content within the Customer Support Portal for customer ingestion (I think thats the Virtual Classrooms / SolarWinds Academy).

Certainly lots of ideas here, and I think on-demand content to start is wonderful.

Absolutely needs to be some sort of official approach / recognition to this. IMO.

OK - I get that SWQL Studio isn't a SOLW product - but SOLW provided a series of products NPM, NCM, etc that rely heavily on SQL (and by turn SWQL) and a by product of that is an expectation from us, the clients, that this is supported. Even if not through official support channels, then comprehensive documents, or academy on-demand videos would be better than hoping the right person in THWACK sees ones plea for help.

Climbs off hobby horse.....

Kevin - at this stage I'll take anything and try to make use of it.

I guess the real time interaction is a bit pie in the sky thinking, but hey, let's start at the tough end and work back to something reasonable

I've got something I'm going to test with the THWACK MVPs that might give us a possible solution.  It would all be hosted on THWACK (which will be helpful because we wouldn't have to manage/troubleshoot a third party integration).  It's a dead easy solution, but I never thought of it.
