Further learning

Now that you have reached the end of the book, what next? We will not abandon you. Here are a few pointers that you will find highly beneficial.

Check out the official Python tutorials

The official Python tutorials on python.org are a goldmine for enthusiastic learners who want a technical and professional explanation of anything to do with the language. Make a point of checking out what it has to offer you.

Make Wikibooks your friends

One of the best sources to learning anything new on the internet is through wikibooks. Wikibooks on Python provide solid, accurate, and concise assistance to learners seeking answers to almost any question without getting too technical.

Online tutorials

Everything you have learned thus far is explained in at least one other tutorial on the internet, albeit with a different approach or examples. Most tutorials feature screenshots or diagrams, and even live online IDLE platforms that enable you to test your code right from the browser. They include the Nettuts+'s Python from Scratch resource (https://code.tutsplus.com/series/python-from-scratch--net-20566) and Tutorials Point (http://tutorialspoint.com/python3/)

Move on to the next book

Investing in a carefully created book such as this one is by far the most reliable way to learn a topic such as Python programming. Now that you have completed all the basics, perhaps your next step will be to find a book for intermediate to advanced Python learners.

Get all answes at StackOverflow

If you have not created an account at StackOverflow, do so now. This is the one place where millions of developers ask and answer questions to any and every problem you will ever face. Encountered a new error you do not understand? Someone at StackOverflow will explain it to you. Most often you will find someone else already asked your type of question and received the right answer(s).

Practice at Project Euler and CodeFights

With what you know so far, you can barely create a functional application program. The only way to reinforce what you have learned is through practice. Two of the most popular places to flex your coding skills are Project Euler (http://projecteuler.net) and CodeFights (http://codefights.com). Check them out.

Build a Game

Nothing is as satisfying to a budding developer as building his/her own game. The learning curve to developing a playable game may be steep, but it will be very rewarding in the process. You can start using the PyGame (http://www.pygame.org/news) library with one of the thousands of free tutorials to develop a simple Python game to reinforce what you have learned and put it in practical application.

Familiarize yourself with common Python tools and libraries

There is a seemingly endless supply of Python tools and libraries for almost any purpose on the internet. To get you started check out PyPy (http://pypy.org/), NumPy + SciPy (http://numpy.scipy.org), BeautifulSoup (https://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/), The Python Image Library (http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/), and the Django framework (http://djangoproject.com).

Get involved in open source projects

If you believe you have a decent grasp of the Python language and can apply it to real life applications, the best way to learn while doing is by joining open source developers on Github or Bitbucket and contributing to ongoing projects.
