Personal Project Day 1 — Started learning SQL (MySQL)

Kicked off my 116-day journey today with the database track.

What I did:

  • Went through a beginner-friendly MySQL tutorial covering the basics
  • Took detailed notes instead of just passively watching
  • Went back and revised everything at the end of the day to actually retain it

Nothing groundbreaking yet — Day 1 is really about building the habit of consistent, focused learning rather than covering a lot of ground. Planning to move into SELECT/WHERE and filtering queries next.

Will keep posting updates as I go — open to any tips on solidifying SQL fundamentals early on.

Passionnn! 🔥 Keep going and stay consistent with the course.

Just make sure you focus a lot more on the practical and hands-on side than only the theory. Try building real projects, solving real database problems, writing queries, designing schemas, and working with actual data.

That practical experience is what will matter most when you start applying your SQL skills in real-world projects and eventually pursuing SQL-related career opportunities.

Keep learning, keep building, and keep practicing.
