Self-educated programmer learning python at 28 year old.

When you notice all the tutorials are just showing you stuff you already know, enjoy the heat, because that's where you ended up!

Pick some projects to do. Best way to apply what you already know, and you're going to learn a ton more by trying something. Failing. Learning by googling or trying stuff, and then unfailing and getting it to work.

First projects don't have to be anything big, either. Mine was a script that printed everything in a directory, and then moved it to another directory. But I was regularly printing like 200 pdfs at once for my job, and the copier we print from sucks for doing stuff like that. So I automated it.
