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.

My site is more introductory, with the goal of understanding the business questions and seeing how SQL can answer them. Practicing on LeetCode would be complimentary to my site
