I highly recommend High-Performance SQLite to fellow engineers. My motivation for learning SQLite stemmed from my interest in local-first applications, and I needed to understand SQLite to effectively use it in the browser. This resource provided that knowledge in a clear and practical manner, making it a must-watch for modern developers.
