Title: I Think I Need an Intervention
Post by: SSG Snuggle Bunny on January 29, 2010, 12:32:39 PM
On y'alls recommendations I decided to go for SQL.

No prob.

Found book, SQL for Absolute beginners (A Harris). It teaches one HTML and PHP as precursors beofer delving into SQL in the latter 2/3 of the book.

Again: No prob.

I'm rather enjoying this. I've gotten to the point where I'm recognizing commands, syntax etc. I may not have them committed to memory to free-hand it but that is just a matter of time.

No prob, thrice now.

PROB?

I think I've become obsessed over data bases. Something about them fascinated me. I see the lines of code and I'm in awe to climb in and jiggle-wiggle everything I can.

 :pervert:

It's just a ****ing data base! It SHOULD be only slightly more interesting than chartered accountancy. (I want to be a lion tamer!*) There is no rational reason to be so enthralled, but enthralled I am.



help?

SQL is interesting and can be profitable if you're competent with it.  It's a usefull skill to have.
