How to Effectively Learn Python and What is Advanced Python?

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!

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.

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