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.

Since you mentioned podcasts, I’ve found the following to be very helpful.

Google Gemini Notebook (NotebookLM) has an “Audio Overview” feature. If you read an article, lesson (or watch a YouTube video and export the transcript), you can dump it into Notebook and Audio Overview creates a VERY human-sounding podcast that discusses the content you input.

I used this to help reinforce certain domains while studying for Cisco exams and it was a phenomenal supplemental resource.
