📘 Learn SQL — From Beginner to Advanced

Welcome to Learn SQL, a beginner-to-advanced curriculum designed to teach SQL the practical way — using MySQL and real-world query patterns.

This course is structured to help you build a strong foundation in SQL, while progressively guiding you into advanced querying, performance tuning, and relational thinking.

⚡ Course Inspiration

This course is inspired in part by the pedagogical approach of SQL Queries for Mere Mortals by John L. Viescas and Michael J. Hernandez — a widely respected guide known for making SQL approachable and structured for real-world learning.

While this project is independently written and designed, many of the topics and teaching style echo the book’s focus on clarity, relational thinking, and progressive learning.

🎯 Who This Is For

• Beginners with no SQL experience
• Developers transitioning into backend or data roles
• Data analysts and scientists looking to strengthen their SQL
• Anyone who wants to learn how to write clean, effective SQL queries
