Has anyone learned a programming language and made good use of it in PA? I’m currently deep into Python and will probably learn SQL in the near future. I’m a manger trying to learn new tricks.

I learned SQL, it's great for merging data and checking completeness of entries within SAP. Also a great look up tool. R is also a great tool I use for harnessing data and visualising. R is heavy in statistics and can be helpful in understanding transaction trends. I will advise learning SQL and Tableau first. You will add so much value to your team.

I’ve learned tableau already. And I agree it has been very helpful. I’ve seen tutorials on utilizing python and r together will definitely look in to it. I appreciate the insight!

Try the - complete Oracle SQL certification course on Udemy. It's about $15. About 4hours of practical intense training. You actually practice in an oracle SQL server with data to practice. Also try Tech on the net for some good tips on any programming software. They are very good. You will learn SQL in a day, the just keep applying it so you don't forget. Practice is the key.

Thank you both!

I have skills in SQL from database programming class, R from data mining classes, tableau and R from data visualization classes. I’m stuck in IT audit and I don’t see how my skills can be helpful here. Any suggestions where I should consider moving to?
