What's a coder_girl?
Once upon a time some crazy people decided to offer free programming training to interested people, and call it launch_code. A few of those aspiring coders were women, and they decided to make their own group within launch_code of women who helped and supported one another in their male-dominated class, and called it coder_girl. Eventally, those women (and people inspired by them) started their own whole division within launch_code, offering classes just for women. If you're a man and interested in learning how to code, don't panic! Launch_code is still going strong, and offers plenty of courses as well.

What's SQL?:
SQL (Structured Query Language) is one of the most widely used programming languages in the world. Although it's not great at creating interfaces, it's great for managing data - and lots of applications and websites (including this one) will use SQL to handle things in the background while another language does the flashy stuff.

launch_code? coder_girl? What's with all the low dashes and lowercase words?
It's a computer programming thing. We call those low dashes "underscores" and we use them so that we can use two (or more) words to name a single variable. The lower case is a style preference: variables are typically lowercase, though they don't have to be.
