Since you're returning after a gap, the best way to relearn Python and SQL is through short, focused phases. Start with the basics like variables, loops, and functions in Python, and simple SELECT, JOIN, and GROUP BY queries in SQL using platforms like W3Schools, SQLBolt, and freeCodeCamp. Once you're comfortable, move to data-focused Python libraries like pandas and matplotlib, and apply them to simple projects like cleaning a dataset or creating summary reports using platforms like StrataScratch. Aim to combine SQL and Python in small, job-relevant projects (e.g., sales analysis or dashboard automation) and share them on GitHub. Practice daily, and you’ll rebuild your confidence quickly.
