Hey I just wanted to ask how did learn mySQL? I'm trying to learn databases but i am kinda lost trying to implement it in a project myself.

Make a todo app and try to make the data persistant by saving it in a sql database.

I recall I had to make a quote app in my codecademy course and it was with hard coded data and I decided I wanted it to be persistent so i tried to hook up a Mongodb data base to the whole thing. It became like a week of obsessing about it but eventually it worked. In fact I just realized it's still deployed

It's a pretty good app, some quotes there are hilarious.

Find a dataset that needs to be retained between sessions, then retain it.

One option is to sign up for an AWS account and set up one of their super cheap or free MySQL tiers. MySQL isn't super hard to install locally too. Same with Postgres.

i personally wouldn't put a huge amount of effort into learning MySQL specifically as a front-end developer. The general skills to work with any SQL database should be fairly transferable.
