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
