I hope you enjoyed learning about installing and using the Google Cloud SDK.
I recommend you start with Cloud Shell first and get comfortable with the most common commands. Once you start building real systems, you will most likely want to install the SDK onto your local development environment. You may also want to install it on other machines to help automate deployments and service configuration. In either case, the SDK includes a lot of useful features to help you get the most out of your Google Cloud Platform account. While the console might be easier to use at first, the SDK can give you more options and can be faster and more reliable.
