None of this "hello world" tripe, you start by reading an ODBC client. If you've already picked up three or four programming languages, this is where you should head next. Particularly useful in new-hire firehose mode: "We'll count your perl experience as useful, but you've got to be willing to port yourself to python. Still interested? Start here." (I happen to think python is the *last* language you'll need for a while - but you don't have to agree with that to find this book very effective.) (
