I found the following video series on learning how to use SQL and have watched 9 of the 13 videos. The video series on SQL is inordinately helpful and really has taken me from knowing nothing about databases to being a solid beginner quickly. If you are interested in building your own web applications or doing anything else more in depth with computers, a knowledge of databases is a must.
