Bro, I've been making a living with Python for over 10 years now, and in the process, I've really mastered the language. For those who have the time, the best approach is to *build a strong foundation from books* first, then dive straight into *real projects* rather than just taking courses. For example, I started by thoroughly studying the book 'Fluent Python' from cover to cover. Once I had a solid grasp of the syntax, I built a small Flask project—a REST API—which helped fill in a lot of gaps in my understanding at the time.
After that, I dove into *data analysis tools* (pandas, numpy) and *data visualization* (matplotlib, seaborn). Now, I’m messing around with Python in web3. So, in short: *theory from books, practice from projects*. Courses are useful if they focus on projects, but you won’t get far without hands-on coding from day one. Don’t expect anything to stick if you don’t start building right away.
