I took two excellent college courses on C++ from our local CC, and one college course on a mix of SQL, Java, Cobol, etc. I was just looking for something that went more in depth on SQL and later Python. There just seems to be too many choices, and I wish one would stand out more as being the "best" overall. Thank you again for all the help!
Py4E (can be taken through FreeCodeCamp if desired) goes pretty in-depth into Python.
There is also PostgreSQL for Everybody:
https://www.pg4e.com/ SQL commands can be quite different, depending on whether you're using PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc. but the essentials are more or less universal.
Django is a framework that uses Python. You can learn how to use it here:
https://www.dj4e.com/
Web Applications for Everybody teaches Python, MySQL, JQuery, and Handlebars:
https://www.wa4e.com/
Web Design for Everybody seems to be more about HTML.

Thank you Rachel. Will probably start the Py4E based on your info after SQL.
Thank you MNomadic because the Murder Mystery game just sounds cool! Will start that soon!
If anyone is interested I looked at a 4 hr. SQL video by Free Code Camp, and it was very interesting and helpful. It also made a lot of sense. Some of the other videos had speakers that were a bit hard to understand, but this video was very good!

What are you wanting to learn? I personally prefer using R for data analysis and Python for Machine Learning. I have never used C++ or Java but those languages are rarely, if ever, taught in business analytics programs which is why.
