How to Effectively Learn Python and What is Advanced Python?

Could you share the exact link to the Python resource you're using? It’d be helpful for others who are starting out!

Learning Python is definitely a journey that goes beyond just completing a single course. It's great that you've started with W3Schools, but I recommend also checking out some beginner books or courses to reinforce what you're learning. One good resource is "Think Python," which you can find [here](https://allendowney.github.io/ThinkPython/). As for what 'Advanced Python' means, it's not tied to a single course but instead covers topics like decorators, generators, and metaprogramming—essentially the deeper concepts that beginners often don't see. Consistency is key; dedicating 1-2 hours daily could get you to a solid beginner level in about 3 months, but 9-12 months of dedicated effort can bring you closer to job readiness. Remember, it’s normal for everyone to progress at different rates, so focus on building a portfolio and continuous learning.

I highly recommend checking out the MOOC course called [Python Programming 2025](https://programming-25.mooc.fi). Unlike W3Schools, this course is structured more like a university introductory course on computer science. It's free, very practice-oriented, and top-notch in quality!
