I have a SQL for dummies book and I was thinking if I should learn SQL. Should I?

[abdul.gafur]

yes, you should.
sql is very useful for database programming.
Learn a simple book.

[toxifyshadow]

Ok I will. Thanks.

[WingedPanther]

Definitely worth learning.

[toxifyshadow]

Ok now I have a new question.
Before I learn SQL, should I learn either PHP or ASP?

[toxifyshadow]

Nevermind, I'm not learning ASP. So should I learn PHP or SQL first.

[WingedPanther]

They are somewhat independent and can be learned at the same time. That said, learning SQL without another language is kind of useless.

[toxifyshadow]

I usually use javascript. So which one, or are you saying I should learn them both at the same time.

[WingedPanther]

JavaScript is one language you can learn independently of SQL quite easily.

SQL usually requires a wrapper language, like Java or .NET.

[toxifyshadow]

I already know javascript, I was just saying that I use javascript.
Becuase I use a Wii, since I don't have a computer I'm not going to learn SQL yet. Wii browser doesn't support Java.

why not do MySQL with php. The Syntex is almost exactly the same to SQL so learning one will make it simple to learn the other. PHP is a server side language so you don't have to worry about what your browser supports because it returns plainText unless you decide to turn it into somthing else (html/javascript/css)
