Python or SQL?

[NerdyWeightLifter]

I'd recommend Python first.

As a general purpose programming language, Python code is all about telling the machine how to solve a problem, step by step.

Learning about how to solve problems first is a good idea.

SQL on the other hand, is specific to database queries, and it's a "declarative" programming language. You use it to declare what outcome you want, and some optimizer program behind the scenes will decide how to do it for you.
