"The joy of coding Python should be in seeing short, concise, readable classes that express a lot of action in a small amount of clear code — not in reams of trivial code that bores the reader to death." - Guido van Rossum
In recent years, Python has become by far one of the most popular programming languages on the planet. So, you might be wondering what all the hype is about. A side from its elementary-level simple syntax, Python is as versatile as potatoes. No seriously, it can do almost anything in the programming paradigm. From Artificial Intelligence, to machine learning, to web development. The applications are endless. If you don't believe me, ask your favorite FAANG company (or is it MAANG).
Python is used by Intel, IBM, NASA, Pixar, Netflix, Facebook, JP Morgan Chase, Spotify, and a number of other massive companies. It's one of the four main languages at Google, while Google's YouTube is largely written in Python. Same with Reddit, Pinterest, and Instagram.

How To Master Python
-
Practice! Practice! Practice!
I cannot emphasize enough the importance of practice. It has a compounding effect on any skill you can imagine. If you work on something for an hour everyday, it doesn't matter whether you;re flipping pancakes or shooting basketballs. You will get good at it!"Don't practice till you get it right, practice till you can't get it wrong" — Anonymous
Utilizing Resources
One of the most underrated educational resources i have found is YouTube! A plethora of free tutorials all over. It's amazing! There's literally more content there than you can consume. Did i mention it was FREE. Udemy is another very resourceful platform for anyone learning programming. It has both free and paid courses.Build in Public (not on the streets, on social media)
Well, I feel like a hypocrite for suggesting this (because i work in private), but learning and working on projects in public will attract like-minded people in the tech space and probably even mentors. This also solves the infamous problem of tutorial hell. You know, when you're stuck binge-watching tutorials and not making any real progress. Make use of platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter and DEV.
Ultimately, mastering Python is an achievable feat. it only asks for your discipline and consistency.
Thanks for Reading. Code Away!
