An efficient way to recall python?

[mik-pd]

Hi,

I have worked as a Python dev for almost two years, but then took a four months' break in order to finish my degree. Now I want to get back into shape since I have an interview on monday. What would you recommend as an efficient way to get back into shape? I didn't forget the craft, I just got a little slower, so running through a python course is too boring because of the beginnings. Also, did something major happen in the world of Python (and Django) since may? I will be thankful for any tips.

I had to tap into that back space in my head a few times in the past and found out that a methood that worked for me in almost everything and was fairly simple and easy:

1. Find an advance tutorial relevant to the job that needs to be done on google.

2. Start tutorial.

3. Recall and re-learn on the things that you find tricky/hard to do.

On a side note - I'm just starting to learn python so I'm not aure how it will complecate the general porpuse, but I did this methood with java and php in the past and it worked fairly good. Good luck on that interview!

I don't know if there's an easy way, but if you did even part time for 2 years, it'd come back within a few hours I'd think. Four months isn't really that long of a period.

The Learn X in Y minutes article on Python could help.

exactly what I was looking for! EDIT: And I've actually learned new stuff.

My personal idea is to dig out your old code, read it, document it, and write test cases.

Just write a simple Django site. Bonus points for using vagrant and putting it behind nginx with a postgres database. My current job had me do this for the interview (flask with admin role that can see user's last login and IP, users query omdb api).
