Beginner in IT

Question

Hi everyone. I spent 10 years in finance. Now I’m looking for it basis. I want to put myself in this spot, because I’m feeling a lot of interest there. Could you, please, advise me from what stage should I begin-should I learn python or SQL? If so, where and how could I do it for the best result of learning? Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

I would suggest you to go with SQL first. Since it is not a programming language, there is not much difficulty.
May be in 1 or 2 months depending upon how much time you spend to learn it, you can complete it.

Then get into Python.

Answer 2

From my perspective there is no use of SQL if you don't have program that is connecting with database. If you're into web dev then you could try Python (from very basics to intermediate level), then some SQL just to see what it is, then I'd go for Django which is framework used for Web Development with Python. That was my learning curve when I started my web dev path :)

Python is very popular so you could just jump into YouTube and seek for tutorials I bet there's ton of them. When you'll look into SQL I just recommend sticking to w3schools they have everything you'll need. And then since Django is Python based you'll find a lot of tutorials as well :) Happy Programming!
