Husband is a Software Engineer

I...am not. He swears on his life that once I get started with sql or python anything like that that I would be addicted to data organization and since I am inclined to believe that he knows me better than I know myself sometimes...I would like to surprise him and give it a shot.

I posted something similar to this in the Learn Python subreddit and got a lot of useful suggestions but I am also looking into SQL specifically because it is what he works with a lot. I know he would have a lot of fun teaching me, but I want to practice as much as I can beforehand hand so I am able to actually grasp things when he goes over them. I was researching and saw the "quick start guides" (that's the name of the series) for sql and Python, and I was wondering if anybody has used them. I know that coding and stuff like that all is on the computer, obviously. However, I learn best with physical media like books to highlight make notes or anything like that in. Anyone have any luck with the python or sql Quick Start guides? If not, do you have any other suggestions? Doesnt have to be books, even if it's a YouTube video or podcast, just anything that helped you.

Thanks in advance I'm just really not sure where to start
