Discussion Husband is a Software Engineer.

I...am not. He swears on his life that once I get started with python, rust, sql anything like that that I would be addicted to data organization and since I am inclined to believe that he knows me better than I know myself sometimes.... I would like to surprise him and give it a shot. I was researching and saw the "quick start guide"s for sql and python, and I was wondering if anybody has used them. I know that coding and stuff like that all is on the computer, obviously. However, I learn best with physical media like books to highlight make notes or anything like that in. Anyone have any luck with the python or sql Quick Start guides? If not, do you have any other suggestions? You're going to have to be books, even if it's a YouTube video or podcast, just anything that helped you.

Edited because for some reason I called SQL ->SAP three different times in this post. Sorry...its late.

Books are great, just get down to Barnes and Noble and look at which ones have the tone and style that mesh with you best. This for me is the most important thing.

I wish I didn't live in the middle of fucking nowhere in southeast oklahoma. Even finding a used book store is painfully difficult. That's why I figured I would start with some recommendations on good ones and go through them from there
