It’s one of the friendliest programming languages around. If you have written something in VBA then you’ll do fine with Python, except for all the bad/outdated nonsense you’ll have picked up from that language. And there’s interactive interpreters you can just mess around in.

If this doesn’t scare you then give it a look:

things = [4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42]
for number in things:
    print(number * 16)

64
128
240
256
368
672

it was partly made for mathematicians who did not know how to develop software, but also for education. so I guess it’s a good starter language. but it allows doing way too much things that will be very confusing when overused

If you are running multiple databases you are already a “tech people”

Sharepoint is not a “database”. Many people have made that mistake and it eventually comes back to bite you.

I would recommend learning SQL. It is made to be human readable, and we’ve been perfecting it since the 1960’s.

Python let you run SQL on any file, and standard DB technology with a very small number of lines of code. Recommend reading about Pandas
