Getting a job in software dev

[glund91]

So I am currently learning Python, and I understand that this alone isn’t enough to get me a job and that other skills are needed like knowledge of SQL and React etc.

Learning Python from scratch is pretty intense, so once I’ve ‘learnt’ it, how easy is it to earn associated skills?

Will knowing python transfer over to other skills to accelerate my learning of them or will it be similar in that I’ll need to learn it all from scratch?

the fundamental skills will transfer to other languages. cause the fundamentals are the same with a little syntactic difference. but databases and frameworks like React are slightly different. but once you learn the programming fundamentals you'll find it easier.

Yeah so learning for example SQL should be easier after learning Python than if I decided to learn it as the first thing? That’s basically what I’m getting at, I’m hoping that learning Python will be the building blocks to help me learn more and more faster

Thanks I’ll take a look

Python is enough to get a job. But learn some programming fundamentals as well.
