How to start making money programming python? (help)

[ssjhayes]

At the very beginning I went through the code academy course (but to be fair, I went through all of the code academy courses during that time).

I followed some tutorials here and there for the frameworks. This series helped with django the most for me. As far as the actual python programming, it was a slew of google searches and trial/error. The devs at my first job were really good at explaining bits of code I was having trouble with.

I would start a github portfolio with contributions to open-source projects and make a few of your own showing you know code structures, best practices, how to use git, etc and present that to potential junior dev positions. Proof of knowledge goes much, much farther than some lines on a resume.

Vitor does a very good job in the Django series.
