I've never touched SQL but some friends said that its a language you can basically learn in an afternoon, so I put it on my CV and applied to some jobs that say they want SQL lol. But now I've actually gotten an interview and I'd like to not get caught out as bullshitting - is it as easy as my friends say and do any of yall have some good resources about learning/using it? In the past I've had pdfs that take you from nothing to profiecency in a language and I'd love something similar, but now that I've graduated I don't have access to stuff like that anymore. I have a shittonne of experience in python if that helps (although at a glance nothing i'm seeing online looks much like python, but i'm told that you can implement it through python or something?)

Most stuff I can find quickly either try to make you pay for it or they're videos instead of text and that doesn't really play well with the adhd. Do you guys have anything? Thanks for the help scamming a corporation comrades meow-hug

In my first year we were given a pdf that covered python from "hello world" to literally anything and everything a scientist ever would need for fancy data analysis/visualisation and modelling and such, plus a bunch of real coding skills like classes etc. I wasn't really interested at the time, but i heard that the comp sci students got similar things for the languages they were covering (now I wish I had have asked for copies!). They were made by the university so unfortunately they're not available publicly, hence why I'm at a loss of where to find info now.

But that site looks like exactly what I need! Everything i was finding on google was high SEO trash, but the books on there looks absolutely perfect, thank you <3
