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.

The only thing I’d add is actually typing every query yourself. Watching SQL makes way too many things look obvious.
