Learning Python

Hopefully this tutorial has tought you just enough python to get you on yourfeet. However, there is much more that you can learn! Even professionalprogrammers will always be trying to learn more about their language andhow to code excellently with it.

Books and Tutorials

If you like learning from a book, there are heaps of good ones, and even manythat can be read freely on the web!

  • OTS Python Portal - Check the rest of our tutorials, and look out forfuture workshops!
  • O’Reilly publishes hundreds of books and ebooks, on python and many othertechnologies (check out Learning Python, 5th edition).
  • Invent with Python takes a practical approach, with three different ebooksthat can be read online for free.
  • Learn Python the Hard Way is a step by step full tutorial on the language,done in a unique style.
  • Dive into Python 3 is another great book available online for free!
  • Last but not least, python.org hasIts own tutorial!

Online learning courses

You wouldn’t believe what you can do on the web these days. There are manycourses on programming around!

  • Edx - with top universities like Stanford, MIT, Harvard and Berkley givingout interactive courses for free, it’s hard to turn this down. You’ll haveto look for ones coming up soon!
  • Coursera is very similar to Edx, with even more courses, and some thatcan be taken at any time.
  • CodeAcademy - luckily this one has a python-specific course that canbe taken at any time, and many other practical language courses.

What to do with Python

Well, that’s a tough one! See, practically anything you can think of involvingsome electronics - from your TV remote, to a smartphone, to the backend of apopular web service, to the scheduling of airport landings, to the softwareyou use everyday - it all involves some programming somewhere!

And not only is it a big field practically, but also technically andacademically. As soon as you have a basic understanding of a general languagelike python, you can start working on all manner of subjects: web frontends,web backend services, data analysis and statistics, Artificial Intelligence,GUI design, robotics, software development of all kinds, online transactions,automation of everything, and many more.

We wouldn’t blame if that all sounds daunting, so here’s some practical advice,that takes advantage of how wide a field “programming” is:

Apply your new skills to whatever you’re passionate about.

Whether that’s starting a new business, helping you do some task involving datafaster, putting up an online site, calculating advantages in a game you play,creating art and music, or anything else, finding out how to use programming tohelp with whatever floats your boat will make learning much more exciting andrelevant. Feel free to ask someone more experienced if you have no idea whereto start, but always mention what makes you tick!
