Hey all!

As a follow up to today's PyCampus Beginners session, here are some
Python related resources which you may find helpful in your Python
journey.

Python Docs - View online at [1] , has help related to every part of
the Python language and its standard library.

Some useful books and resources related to Python

1. "Learn Python the Hard Way" by Zed Shaw - learn Python by coding
in Python[2]. I can personally vouch for this as this was what I used
to get started in Python.
2. Hacking Secret Ciphers with Python with a focus on cryptography.
[3] Excellent for beginners interested in both.
3. Python Module of the Week [4] - a tour of the standard library,
one module per week

There are also plenty of MOOC's which use Python, some of them are


1. Coursera - An Introduction to Interactive Programming in Python [5]
2. MIT OCW, edX - Introduction to Computer Science and Programming [6]


**What next ?**

Implement your next application idea using python. [7] has a huge list
of ideas to implement.
Work on real life projects by contributing to open source projects
which use Python! Contact us at PES Open Source on this mailing list
for more guidance regarding the same.

Please share any useful Python related resource here.
