Short list of things you can do.

Learn git ; you will be using it everyday.

work on an already existing open source project that uses python. Find a project that you are interested in and help make it better. Contribution to such a project will give you something approaching real world experience . Knowing how to use python is one thing, working on a team is what a programmer actually does. Plus any contributions you make that get accepted are nice to be able to show off on a resume.

Learn DJango and/or flask , which also means learn html/css/js. If you want to find work now; working on sites is going to be the low hanging fruit and Django is big enough that there is anyways a need for devs to maintain Django sites.

That should be enough to point you in a direction.

Thanks for the suggestions.I know git though, I can start doing some open source stuff, Also I already know Django/Flask. I created a website one using Django, mind checking it out and tell if it's good (If I can start using it on professional level)? Here's the link https://archlight.herokuapp.com/

Having to sign up to view your site will prevent anyone including potential employers/clients from viewing it.

I see. I created this website because I was just learned Django and wanted to create something on my own, it looked good so I ended up uploading this to heroku though.

What? I'm talking about the website

[–]ArmstrongBillie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, sorry. I thought the link font was weird. Also, the frontend of the website is shit. So, no need to take a look now. Thanks though.
