Hello,

Developers learning MQL might be interested in some notes I put together:
Step by step MQL with Jimi Hendrix - http://tinyurl.com/2zpd9n

When I show developers Freebase and the query language MQL, the first
thing they often try to do is extract all the info they can out of the
database for a generic topic.

This is actually quite a good learning experience, as you have to
learn lots of MQL concepts:

    * How "*" expands (default values v objects, type specified or not)
    * Multiple queries v nested queries
    * Reflection

I had been keeping my own notes, but I thought they might be worth
sharing even although they are very incomplete.

I'd be interested in your feedback.
Is this something worth working on?

regards,
--Will
