April 2025: Delivered and polished PostgreSQL learning content for MicrosoftDocs/learn. Key features include the PostgreSQL Playground with 4 new DQL tutorials and a complete sample sales dataset, plus creation scripts and updated tutorial titles. Also delivered a comprehensive cleanup of the PostgreSQL Learning Path content (metadata, summaries, objectives, module references, image paths, durations, and markdown formatting) to improve clarity and consistency. Major fixes included correcting errors in YAML files, completing TODOs, updating diagrams and the index page, and tightening bullet points and formatting. These changes improve learner experience, shorten onboarding, and reduce maintenance cost by establishing a single source of truth for content structure. Technologies demonstrated include PostgreSQL DQL concepts, YAML/Markdown-based content management, diagram assets, and rigorous QA.
