Summary

Here's a neutral, objective, and interesting summary of the text in one paragraph: The YugabyteDB community recently hosted a free "YSQL Development Fundamentals" training and certification class, which covered topics such as YugabyteDB architecture review, local installation, basic administration, and working with the YSQL shell. The course aimed to help beginners and intermediate SQL developers apply their PostgreSQL knowledge to YugabyteDB, with over 80 exercises to demonstrate this concept. Although some attendees found the exam moderately challenging, a near-perfect score was achieved by one community member, Hartanto Ario Widjaya, who became the first to pass. The training also addressed common questions about YugabyteDB, including its compatibility with PostgreSQL, data migration, and support for various tools and workloads. With several upcoming training sessions scheduled, interested individuals can continue to learn more about YugabyteDB's architecture, migration best practices, and development capabilities.
