I'm learning a bit more about SQL and databases.
I've worked through Julia Evan's SQL zine before:
With the accompanying playground: https://sql-playground.wizardzines.com
I'm working through a tutorial on MySQL from Golang after setting up MySQL via Docker
It's also just an interesting exercise in how Golang approaches data management from a pretty imperative data flow, which is very different from the functional approach I'm used to in TypeScript
Finished following the Golang tutorial, https://github.com/jasikpark/go-tutorial-data-access . It's just a copy of the code in the end.
Next was: https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/sql/
Took a gander through a couple of Code Academy lessons next.
- https://www.codecademy.com/courses/learn-sql/lessons/manipulation/exercises/sql
- https://www.codecademy.com/courses/learn-sql/lessons/queries/exercises/queries
- https://www.codecademy.com/courses/learn-sql/projects/learn_sql_query_table-1
Also reading through how the api repo interacts with our databases at work to read real-world code 💜
Learning how many different types of joins there are was interesting, and W3Schools showed up again with the solid references: W3Schools: MySQL SQL
Planetscale has a good number of blog posts on MySQL, in addition to what seems like a thorough “MySQL for Developers” course:
