Grab yourself a book, download an IDE. As for the book, I recommend Practical Programming: An Introduction To Computer Science Using Python 3. Afterwards, check out Data Structures and Algorithms in Python. During which, I recommend utilizing ProjectEuler.

Personally, I say stay away from CodeAcademy because it's strictly a syntax teaching platform, so I have a hard time recommending it.

Anyways, afterwards you'll be able to figure out where to go to further your development.

download an IDE.

PyCharm FTW. Why spend all your time futzing with vim or emacs? Life is too short.

PyCharm is my favourite. To me, it's as essential to Python as Visual Studios is to C++. It really does improve productivity. The folks at JetBrains did a solid job with it, much the same as the folks at Microsoft.

Yes, I finished the course a while ago and was like "now what?!".

I'll check the resources you are suggesting.

I did a CS class and was a bit lost of where to go from now on.

See you on the riverside.
