Career step with Python

[izildop]

Hi,

I see that Python grows rapidly and I was interested in getting a job as a Python developer. Which path can I choose? I want to be busy with writing the back-end scripts.

First I want to go through a book: Automating the boring stuff with Python.
What steps to follow after this? I really want to be goal-oriented to become better and learn what's necessary to set the first step in the tech world.

Any professional can give me some advice on what to know as Python developer, and what projects fit the best around that, so I can start applying for jobs after I build a couple of applications.

Thanks!!!
