No, I think SQL is too much info. I had thought of "Databases: from
zero to web-app in 15 minutes" or something like that, but essentially
it's just making poetry of something that makes sense on it's own :)

We probably need one for webservers as well - so we can doa simple set
up of apache, nginx, lighthttpd, etc etc....although I'll leave that
for the moment.
