If you are a person of moderate intelligence, how tough is it to learn SQL and Python? -- nm - crash davis Oct 11, 11:22 17
- SQL is where it's at! Plus you have lots of help here. - JaxSean Oct 11, 12:07
- Thanks all -- nm - crash davis Oct 11, 11:55
- SQL is easy just need to watch your parenthesis and spelling -- nm - SyrDragon Oct 11, 11:49
- Basic SQL calls are easy. Select * from x where y. Your data structures are where you get the complexity. More tables means more complicated joins. -- nm - Ender Oct 11, 11:34
- Both are quite “easy” to get the basics, especially because there is a ton of help and educational resources available. - Beryllium Oct 11, 11:25 8
  - Easy compared to something like C++ or Java, that is. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 11, 11:29 7
    - which are easy compared to C, Pascal, FORTRAN, ASM, Ada -- nm - SyrDragon Oct 11, 11:52 5
      - fortran was the 1st language I learned. We would dial in, using a modem with a phone cradle, to the University of Rochester servers to run stuff -- nm - decline Oct 11, 11:57 4
        
        Yup. cobol and fortran. -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 11:59
        
        I learned Fortran when I was still dodging velociraptors to get to class. I have pretty much forgotten every single bit of it. Is it still used? -- nm - crash davis Oct 11, 11:59 2
        
        not really - there might be some really old servers running it in the gov't or academia -- nm - decline Oct 11, 12:02 1
        
        thanks, I don't feel so bad forgetting it then :) -- nm - crash davis Oct 11, 12:04
    - oh, definitely -- nm - decline Oct 11, 11:30
- Basic SQL is really simple. Python is one of the easier languages to learn as well. -- nm - Shaun Oct 11, 11:24
- sql is easy-peasy. python can be a bit more challenging -- nm - decline Oct 11, 11:24 1
  - Can be, yes, for the intermediate and advanced concepts in particular. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 11, 11:25
- don't know python, know enough SQL to know it is not that difficult. -- nm - groiny Oct 11, 11:22
Destiny 2: Play a Gambit match is a Daily milestone today. -- nm - Shaun Oct 11, 11:17 12

  - I should bring a controller to work so I can login during the day and pick up all the bounties so I don't have to waste time when I sit down to play. -- nm - Shaun Oct 11, 11:23 10
    - They really are too spread out. Gambit tips inside... - David, Frog Guy Oct 11, 11:37 8
      - Good lord. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 11, 12:12 1

      - 8) Do not expect your rando teammates to do 1-7. -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 11:44 5
        
        Right. I did the Gambit weekly last night and couldn't believe how bad my teammates were. - IrishStephen Oct 11, 12:00 3
        
        If you were on Xbox, I might think that was me. - JaxSean Oct 11, 12:12
        
        Better yet, he was jumping away from a blocker, leaving it up to you to kill. -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 12:04
        
        Gross. It'd be bad enough to die to enemies with 15 on hand, but to have a teammate do it? Ouch. -- nm - Shaun Oct 11, 12:03
        
        9) See 8. -- nm - Shaun Oct 11, 11:46
