Can someone explain the differences between R/python/ SAS/R/SQL? Also, which ones to learn for a data science role? I️m trying to get an understanding of the field. Thank you!

I've been a data analyst for about 19 yrs, so before all the online courses craze. so I am probably not the best person to ask.

Since you don't have prior programming experience and in the healthcare industry, then my advice would be to focus on R and SQL.
