help with learning path

[backin...@gmail.com]

Hi everyone,

I have been learning python and Django for the past 12 months, however, I seem to be stuck with moving forward. I have completed basic tutorials, read beginner and some intermediate books. The problem I'm having is finding a learning resource somewhere between intermediate and professional. All the resources I have found are for a beginner (which I understand) or too advanced and leave me more confused. I'm self-taught and learning this by myself using Google, YouTube etc. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Yes, I have the same question as well. If some experts know where is the lead, please share with us all. Thanks

My 2 cents are:

https://wsvincent.com who has a nice book about django and api’s

Myself I was studying pluralisght (not free)

And find django for entrepeneurs has nice inspiration

I find that the intermediate path in any programming language is doing things
yourself and getting experience. Learn to recognize how certain bugs
manifest, how to setup a project and how to writing libraries / mechanisms.

If you keep working from examples, you're limiting yourselves to those
examples and there's a lot of "howto" stuff out there of varying quality.

If I'd had to think up a project, that is actually useful in this day and age
try coding a site using a vue.js frontend with a Django Restframework backend,
no Django templates at all. Borrow code here and there, but do not work from
examples. Learn to find your own path from user requirements to technical
architecture to detailed implementation.

For bug tracking skills - a good way is picking up bugs in Django itself, by
regularly visiting the bug tracker.

Good luck!
