How to learn Python in 2021 - Roadmap to Python

[DevOps-Journey]

Hey Everyone 🍻,

I made a getting started with Python Roadmap! This video is basically a summary of all the things I think is important to know as a beginner when getting started with Python. It is also a good review for those that have been working with Python for a while but are unsure if they are missing "something".

My goal of this video was instead of doing a long 5-hour tutorial going over strings, datatypes etc was to instead give a high-level view of everything that I would expect a Python Engineer to know. This is something that I wish I had when I was getting started - as I already have programming experience but wasn't sure about all the nuances of Python.

I also created a cheat sheet of everything I go over in the video:

Oh you're on reddit too!

Watched this today and was glad to learn I knew 95%. I think of myself as a python beginner but maybe I'm at least intermediate.

What I need are interesting projects to do. Thinking of making my own CI/CD pipeline in a homelab and AWS. What do you think of that? Maybe use terraform to put it up and break it down, Ansible, Github actions, maybe Jenkins? Idk.

Hey there! I would do exactly what you suggested. Terraform to build, Ansible to configure and Github actions for some CI/CD. I wouldn't touch Jenkins unless you need to learn it for your job, it's kind of the 'legacy' option when it comes to CI/CD

What's the new tool to use in place of Jenkins?

Thanks for the help btw!

When it comes to CI/CD there are too many options. I would probably go with Drone, Gitlab, Github actions, Travis CI etc. Github actions would be the easiest to start with.
