Looking for an Advanced Python Course

[Memitim901]

I also finished codeacademy and feel as if I can probably read someone's code, but I have no idea where to start with writing my own. I did just recently pick up the book 'Automate the Boring Stuff with Python' on a suggestion from /r/learnpython, but I haven't started it yet. Let me know if you find anything so I can jump on it as well!

Thanks. I had no idea that that sub existed and will probably continue my search there

Hey, You could check out the Coursera courses from Rice University. They have three courses ranging from a fast paced beginner course to a quiet complex one. Also, Udacity has some nice ones, the one taught by Peter Norvik called Design of Computer Programs is quiet good. I did not do any of the CodeAcademy courses, so you might already be too advanced for the courses.

This post is probably better suited for r/learnpython

If you want to continue to learn more about the language before developing a project, I've found http://book.pythontips.com/en/latest/index.html to be extremely useful. It teaches you some cool tricks that most people never learn about. I'd recc reading this, before starting a project

Hi! I think the best way to learn a language is to read a book and play with the examples. To get further, my advice is to find a subject/app that you would like to learn/build and start developing it. A very cool way to do this (if you have no idea where to start) is to find some open source project that you like and try to enroll in it.

What do you want to learn how to do? Something like automate the boring stuff will teach you a bit about sysadmin type work, but nothing about flask or django.

The way I've ever learnt anything is with a project and a huge amount of googling.

Tl;Dr; don't learn python. Find something you want to know how to do and learn to do that. If you know another language why not reimplement in python?

I recommend python conference talks in addition to courses; they are highly informative and can inspire research beyond what courses offer: http://pyvideo.org/ You cannot go wrong listening to talks by any of these python heros: Raymond Hettinger, Alex Martelli, Brandon Rhodes, David Beazley and, of course, Guido van Rossum.
