Just bought this Python Crash Course book by Eric Matthes. Just wanted to know if there are any developers on here with any other resources I could use. I would also like to know what opportunities are available after learning Python from anyone with this skillset. Thanks.

Good thread. I want to transition into Data Science and have to learn this.
I tried Python for the first time earlier today while reading a book on Data Viz. It took 1-2 hours to figure out how to download a module to do a basic scrape of a website lol. Mostly my issue was just because I was using the wrong environment and stuff. I will slowly get the hang of it. Good luck to ya!
Definitely interested in data mining and visualization. Good luck and check out galvanize they have some free courses or a paid boot camp like structure.
It’s wild you can do so much with these programs. glad I figured out how valuable they are now as opposed to later. Good luck to you as well.
I'd suggest going through the official Python documentation and following the examples there using an online compiler or your favorite IDE.
In my opinion, the docs are written in a way that a novice can understand. You also don't run the risk of going down an infinite tutorials rabbit hole that I see many people new to the language fall into.
Everything you need to know about Python is covered here and it's free. Once you've got the fundamentals down, you can hit up Youtube, Github and many other sites to find tons of sample apps to create yourself to make the knowledge come together.

I came across this video before, but I didn't think it would be as helpful as a course.

it is..
the key is, do it all the way through the first time...
and repeat the exercises over and over...so 5 hours for the course.. 15-45 minutes exercises after until you memorize...
that's about a week

What programs do you install on your laptop/desktop to do work with Python?
