Hey HN, I made this course :D

The course is a bit more than 7 hours long split over 64 videos.

I was always frustrated by the lack of intermediate database content, it seemed like it was mostly intro stuff, or straight to DBA level. So I read as many database books as I could, read through the official docs, and made this course specifically for application developers.

If yall have any feedback I'd love to hear it. I'll be making updates soon, but not before I take a nice long break from editing video.

This is amazing! I've been following Aaron's short database videos on Twitter and he is the real deal. Accessible, straightforward explanations of complex db stuff. I highly recommend checking this out.

Quite difficult to review that many hours of video but from the syllabus there are probably some missing pieces, mainly stored procedures and triggers, yes i know MySQL sucks for that particular job and probably you didn't touch them because planetscale probably doesn't support them (not a planetscale dev but this is my wild guess).

Also didn't see any topic on choosing the right charset/collation for the right data and why.

Uh oh! That shouldn't be the case. Where are you viewing from? And what browser? I might need to change some settings in Vimeo
