The rise of the internet has changed the way people learn computer languages. With people giving their time on mailing lists like this and writing web pages detailing stuff they know, everything is on the web now. I just did a search on "SQL tutorial" sqlite and got 23,000 hits. Even if only 1% of those is any kind of 'learning SQL with sqlite' tutorial information, that's still 230 tutorials. I used to be a contractor and one of the things I offered companies was teaching courses on whatever software they used or security measures and protocols they wanted enforced. I could still do that -- for big companies. Most companies like sending their people on courses. That's just the way big companies do things. But for the twenty million people learning widely-used stuff like SQL ? I couldn't charge 10 Euros each. They all go to w3schools and get decent-quality material free. Which is exactly what I did to learn it myself.
