My solutions to SQL Zoo.

SQL Zoo Project

The goal of this project is to put into practice SQL queries using the online resource SQL Zoo.

This is a project from The Odin Project.

Pre-Project Thoughts

In between this and the last project, I've been down two rabbit holes: creating my own personal blog/resume/portfolio website and attending a Career Fair.

I fell down this rabbit holes midway through the SQL lesson content so I am feeling a bit uneasy and out of the flow.

Hopefully this puts me back on track!

Post-Project Thoughts

1. This caused me to go down my second batch of rabbit holes for SQL, especially considering I have a job lead involving SQL. Here's a list of resources I personally found valuable:

   1. Khan Academy's SQL Course: Decent, although the introduction of concepts is too fast-paced for a beginner.

   2. CalebTheVideoMaker2's SQL Video Course: Still working my way through this one. I'll update with an opinion later.

   3. SQL Teaching: By far, the best introduction to SQL.

   4. SQL Bolt: The best SQL explanation by far. Very well-explained. I'd recommend SQL Teaching first, then SQL Bolt, then the video course or khan's course if you want more practice.

2. SQLZoo was way harder and took way longer than I thought. All in all, there were about four to five questions that blew my mind. I even opened a Stack Overflow question on one of the questions where I didn't fully understand the answer.

3. I am very happy I made it through SQLZoo, though. It was a fun challenge.
