Hello, everyone! I'm Larissa and Front-end Developer, I have 5-6 years of professional experience and I started to see the need for learn back-end concepts in order to evolve my hard skills (Back-end is my achilles heel 😅).
The purpose of this post is tell you my steps of what I doing and also practicing my writing in English.
My expections and objectives
Last month, I started studying on uphop.ai. Uphop is a plataform with any courses free, I search video or other plataforms, but I didn't understand it very well and all video I found used ORM (Object Relational Mapping) like Prisma, TypeORM and others.
I began to feel that I was just copying and pasting, just creating tables without really knowing why or how it works and their rules. I ended up finding on Reddit in community called r/SQL and I found the Uphop.
I thought why not start at the bottom, My Front-end Journey started the same way!
So, that's why I explored the course SQL for Beginners which also has AI to help with any doubts and has some very nice practical examples.
I using Obsidian for my studies and probably I will use some notes I writed, themes like Databases

and more!
