    For those self-taught: can you recommend educational materials?

    Hi all,

    I'm looking to find out how everyone learned different coding languages (specifically in VBA and SQL). I've taken basic courses on both, but learning the more intermediate/advanced statements as well as just being able to understand the language/syntax in general has proven to be very difficult.

    For those who have taught themselves how to understand, replicate, and expand on these languages (ie., for those that did not take higher-education/otherwise expensive courses), what are some inexpensive ways to learn? Preferably videos/articles/online lessons, but also looking for inexpensive courses/etc.

    If there are languages that are a bit easier that would be a stepping stone (I imagine SQL would be the most simple, but I really have no concept), a listed progression would definitely help as well.

    My background is in Excel, if it helps, with abilities to create advanced functions which get me through my role as an analyst (though definitely not an expert).



    Thanks, everyone!
