Hey everyone! I've been picking up Python for the last couple of months and am looking to dive deeper into backend development. I want a book that cuts to the chase and doesn't focus on the basics. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Check out "Architecture Patterns with Python" by Percival and Gregory, often referred to as Cosmic Python. It's available for free online and skips the fluff, focusing on real-world backend structuring like repository patterns and service layers. Since you’re a couple of months in, this will help you build solid coding habits early on. If you're also interested in mastering Python itself, "Fluent Python" is fantastic too!

I’d recommend looking at roadmap.sh. It’s a great resource with project ideas and courses. CS50 is also an amazing starting point for foundational knowledge. And remember, while Python is great, keep an open mind to exploring other languages when necessary!
