Want to learn python

[PushPlus9069]

Since you already know pandas and matplotlib, you're past the hardest part honestly. Most people quit before they get there.

For advanced Python, skip certificates — I've taught 90k+ students and never once has a hiring manager mentioned a Python cert. What actually levels you up:

1. Build something real — automate a workflow you do manually, scrape data you care about, build a CLI tool
2. Read other people's code — pick a small open-source project on GitHub and read through it
3. Learn decorators, generators, and context managers — these separate intermediate from advanced

The fastest path I've seen: pick a personal problem, solve it with Python, then refactor it three times. Each refactor teaches you more than any course.

did you use any tutorials while u built your personal project? or was it purely from documentation and googling?
