Thanks. I should be clear... what topics should I be searching on? Tech person here

when I don’t know what to search for, I literally would type my question into google word for word, and it works most of the time. And if not, it gives me a good lead.

For you — literally search “where can I find intro to finances as a tech person” 👀

With no formal background in the area of finance, it’s better for you to do a survey/intro of the area before you figure out what you want to read more on

Professor Google has online material on this

Hey guys… I’m a case worker in child safety and I’m someone who loves being outdoors/dies at a desk all day. I’m hoping to organise that at least once a week I can go to a cafe and catch up on all my case notes that need to go into the system.
