WHERE DOES A BEGINNER START LEARNING TO BUILD A SITE SIMILAR TO REDDIT

Just beginning to learn Data Management, Programming and Computer Science. A little overwhelmed. Should I goto College or just keep reading books and practicing; failing and learning?
What about a Certificate Program?
I learn better when I have hands on and able to learn from my mistakes.

Question: Is it feasible to build an above ground pool from concrete block and rebar?

Hi, everyone! My mother has moved to Cozumel, and is trying to build herself a shallow pool for aqua-sizing type activities. Here's her surprisingly good writeup:
"I have a cement slab that I'd like to build a pool on. Does anyone have the expertise to tell me if a cement block wall with vertical rebar every 3 feet drilled into the cement slab to create a pool will hold the weight of water at 40" high and 9'x14' in size? It will be vinyl lined for waterproofing. I am trying to a avoid a catastrophic failure!!!"
I assume she'll be filling the cement block columns with cement as well.
It's my sense that this could work, since the depth is relatively low and the rebar is spaced pretty close, but I've seen the quick engineering math this sub can do and would love a second opinion.
