Node/MySQL Tutorial for Beginners

I'm trying to find a Node/MySQL tutorial for people who haven't learned anything about how to access or add to/remove from a database via the server. The best option I've found so far is this, but it already assumes a LOT of pre-existing understanding of server/database interactions:

https://github.com/felixge/node-mysql

Anyone have a better resource?

Jeremy Barbe,

I'm trying to glean a bit of context from your question but I'm having trouble. Do you already have experience with raw SQL and are looking for an ORM (Object Relational Mapper) tutorial? Or are you looking to start at the foundations of SQL and databases?

If it's the latter, a great place to do this is Mode Analytics's SQL School.

If it's the former, Bookshelf.js seems like a very well supported and well documented ORM for Node.js.

Hope this helps! Chris A.
