Best resource to learn and pass interview - oryucouk - May-17-2019 Hi All, Background: I am a Linux SysAdmin with over 9 years experience. I have very basic Python knowledge. Have previously scripted in Bash. I am looking to move away from what I do and into 100% Python programming. Is there any one book/resource/learning-path you will recommend strongly to get me through the door to my first Python job interview? Many thanks!

I've edited the question for clarity. What I meant is that there are endless tutorials/books out there. But I am sure that often there is one or two books or tutorials that are really high quality and work the best for most people. Those are the ones I am after.

Building up practical experience is what I think works best. There are plenty of free online Python resources (including python books). Just pick one and that feels not to difficult and start. Focus: 0) Building up practical experience. (always active, and crucial for (successful) Python job interviews) 1) Initial basic Python stuff. 2) Classes 3) (?) ... take your pick. Optional search: online free python book ("A-whirlwind-tour-of-python" seems like a nice Python crash course) RE: Best resource to learn and pass interview - micseydel - May-17-2019 Cracking The Coding Interview is the canonical book on this topic. I have a copy and used it the last couple times I was looking for a job. That said... I don't think you'll be limited as much by your interviewing skills as much as your experience. I strongly recommend you develop a strong Github profile with projects that you can show off and show that you can get stuff done.
