A curated list of python tutorials, notes, slides deck, files related to pycon talks, and a handful list of books that are worth reading. This repository can be used as a reference documentation for mastering the python programming language and other related content like frameworks and such.
This repository serves three primary roles:
-
Sharing an opinionated list of python videos.
-
Sharing notes driven by the awesome community.
-
Sharing a handful list of books that can play a significant role in honing your python skills.
If you are looking for a way to contribute to the project, please refer to the
