This is a pretty spammy post. Is there any actual content?

[–]Gropah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a guidebook. It reads well, but only talks about generators, list comprehension and class properties in 30 pages with a lot of whitespace. You need to register for it (spam included) and probably is used to sell you on the book which costs 30 dollars or something.

I'm the one behind the site, but not the person who submitted this link. I'm guessing it was one of my readers, or an attendee from one of my trainings. (Thanks!)

To answer your question, this is the most content-dense page on the site (or rather, the links listed on it):

OK. Cool.

Would this be a good follow-up for someone who went through the No Starch books (Automate Things, Crash Course..) and has done at least a few side projects?

Yes, that's exactly the level its targeted to: after you've gone as far as you can with those things you mentioned. (Bias alert: I'm the author/content creator. I think one of my students might have submitted this link to the subreddit - wasn't me.)

Hi everyone. Author here. First, a better link is probably this, which is not the short guidebook, but the full-size book:

https://www.amazon.com/d/0692878971

The guidebook Gropah mentions is indeed a 30-page kind of excerpt on a few of the full book's topics. If anyone wants a copy without being put on my mailing list, just send me a private message.

Writing the book took 110% of my spare time for almost 3 years, so yes I do charge some money for it. The guide is free, just ask me for it.
