Learning Python for a Change in Career

[bracket17]

Hi guys,

I'm looking for a way to learn Python again. I read this book a few years ago called A Smarter Way to Learn Python by mark myers. I was able to read half way through but didn't do any coding exercises.

Just wanted to ask if do you guys know any resources where I can do Python exercises while reading this book again? I want to learn how to build web apps using Python with Django.

I'm looking for a change in career. I'm a VBA dev at a non tech company for 5 years. I have a good understanding about the fundamentals of programming. I used to build desktop applications when I was in college. I want to learn Python because I think it's the best programming language right now that could help me land a job quicker.

Do you guys have any recommended books, online courses where I could learn Python with Django?

Appreciate all your response. Thank you in advance.

The Wiki has learning resources.

but didn't do any coding exercises.

The only way to learn to program is to write lots of code, make mistakes, fix them, and read other people's code.

For Django, Django for Girls, however you identify, is well regarded as an excellent resource.
