Getting started with Assignment 1

What was successful?
I'm feeling pretty good about this assignment. It's a big one and it's a bit scary but I think I understand the requirements of the assignment. Now to just get it done.

What problems have I had?
I think my biggest challenge is going to be getting the schema and the plan right. If I can get those right everything else should fall into place.

What have I learned that was interesting?
Facebook is based on a database! I suppose it makes sense but I never really thought about that before. All of my posts and comments and links are stored in a database on a server somewhere, that's weird!
