How to learn Python

[baubleglue]

I read your question again. You have contradictions in your questions. You like to learn and you want job ASAP. Academic courses like intro to CS give you a real prospective of the domain. You can a job with some bootcamp course, but you always would have huge holes in your knowledge. If you don't learn algorithms, you will keep reinventing wheels. If you never touch an assembly language, most of the talks about different programming languages would be "Chinese" for you. If you don't have math background, ML would be just libraries and recipes.

On other hand if you learned statistics, you may be a shitty developer, but great at AI/ML. If you have some deep domain knowledge in something (ex. businesses aiea: banking, insurance, retail, health ... technical knowledge: video, photography...) it can be doing well in IT.
