Teach Yourself SQL

So my wife gets offered an interesting opportunity at her work. She knows very little about computers accept that for which she has been trained to do at work. She doesn't have a huge interest in coding and computer language...correction...she has no interest. Anyway, she was offered a job to work with SQL within her company which is hostto one of the world's largest SQL servers. I know, it's crazy! So I got some information from some of the web guys here and one of them let me borrow Sams Teach Yourself SQL in 10 Minutes by Ben Forta.

I took it home and showed it to her, but I ended up reading it. I actually found it to be very simple, and very, very, powerful in terms of searching databases. There are a lot operators that I don't have memorized but with a handy reference sheet, I'm confident that I can do SQL now. I just have to convince our web guys to let me practice some. I felt empowered by reading this book and I'll be adding SQL to my resume very soon.

As for my wife, I'm not sure what she has decided. They said they would train her, so we'll see what happens. This is a good lesson on if you will work hard, go the extra mile, and be friendly to your coworkers, opportunities will present themselves.
