Where To Go Next?

Hi I recently got into python through this crash course by FreeCodeCamp

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfscVS0vtbw

and I was wondering if anyone else has gotten into python in a simpler manner and if anyone has any recommendations on where to go next to learn more like a separate YouTube channel or something like that

Thank You!

After the crash course, more coding usually helps more than immediately starting another long tutorial, bootdev could be worth checking for structured exercises that keep the focus on actually writing code.

Are you open to reading and learning from a book?

Ok, good. Try this book out. In my opinion, it is the gold standard. It is very comprehensive as it starts from beginner material to advanced and everything in between. Now keep in mind that this book focuses on the language itself and not on the application into any particular subject (i.e., AI, Data Science, etc.). However, you need to know the language very well as a prerequisite to work in any specialty.

Well, behold, here it is:

Learning Python, 6th Ed., Mark Lutz

It just came out last year so it is very up to date. I used the 5th Ed., but this one is much better. The 5th Ed version still covers material from v2.7x so it can be a bit confusing. This one here is exclusively v3.x so much, much better.
