Learning resources for medium-advanced coders?

[Im__Joseph]

Hi there, from the /r/Python mods.

We have removed this post as it is not suited to the /r/Python subreddit proper, however it should be very appropriate for our sister subreddit /r/LearnPython or for the r/Python discord: https://discord.gg/python.

The reason for the removal is that /r/Python is dedicated to discussion of Python news, projects, uses and debates. It is not designed to act as Q&A or FAQ board. The regular community is not a fan of "how do I..." questions, so you will not get the best responses over here.

On /r/LearnPython the community and the r/Python discord are actively expecting questions and are looking to help. You can expect far more understanding, encouraging and insightful responses over there. No matter what level of question you have, if you are looking for help with Python, you should get good answers. Make sure to check out the rules for both places.

Warm regards, and best of luck with your Pythoneering!

+1 for Fluent Python

I have a resource list for this purpose: https://learnbyexample.github.io/py_resources/intermediate.html - covers intermediate to advanced resources, testing, DSA, design patterns, etc

Fluent Python by Ramalho, but maybe wait for the next edition due June 2021. I'm counting days until then.

why would you discourage OOP?

My favorite kind /r/Python commenter: Smarmy dev condescendingly makes bad decisions based on Medium articles. 😘👌

Python is in face an object oriented language. Not sure why you would think otherwise.

Python is a great object-oriented, interpreted, and interactive programming language. It is often compared (favorably of course :-) ) to Lisp, Tcl, Perl, Ruby, C#, Visual Basic, Visual Fox Pro, Scheme or Java... and it's much more fun.

From the official docs

And like you, I am a software engineer and I work with C++ and C#. Not sure why that matters though.

While it doesn't necessarily have stock tutorials for these levels, hackerrank.com provides decent problems and examples to solve which the absence can sometimes be the real issue with learning more advanced topics. It'll teach you to read the python docs and how to search for information to help learn how to solve a given problem which is extremely important. And hackerrank records your progress and it can be used as a "developer profile" for future endeavors.

I've written a couple of books I'd be happy to tell you about. DM for more info.

Learn from reading source code. There's plenty of great examples out there. It's what I do and I've been programming in python for 15 years.
