Best Python learning references/books? - Crypt - Oct 19, 2020

I have gone over automate the boring stuff but I'm not sure what else to read/watch to get a better understanding on Python. I supposed the next step is creating projects and then maybe partnering them with Django?

I would take a look at this: Python Learning

Additionally; I have read "Serious Python" which is really useful and also Fluent Python i am currently reading so have a look through that!

Go for the official docs/resources of Python. They are best if you can understand.

Thanks for sharing it! I renamed the thread and revised it a bit but unfortunately hit the character limit, so I can't expand it much more. Too bad it's not stickied like the other threads, but maybe one day if the staff see it.

@OP, I would only dive into Django if you're already comfortable with Python and object-oriented programming, which clearly you're not. For now, I recommend going through my Python Essentials thread and making basic websites in Flask with an ORM.

I'm going to go over your tutorial. I've gone through automate the boring stuff but kind of skipped certain things and just made little random projects. I'm going to go over it again and actually read it all and follow along and then follow with the Corey Schafer videos that you linked.

I should have a much better understanding after that and it should only take me like a week.

I agree with this.

Python book for free

The author has a great book on getting started that he uploaded for free. Alternatively, HF and Youtube are great places for tutorials
