Acing Python Interviews, and Python Books Deal (pay what you want!)
Nothing beats practice, practice, practice
Humble Bundle Book Deal
No Starch Press is my absolute favorite publisher in the world. Their tech books are top notch, written by famous engineering authors, and with an approachable to read style.
Humble Bundle has a deal currently where you pay what you want for a set of great Python books. You can donate to charities, or just pay the minimum ($36 for 18 books, down to $1 for two of the books!).
There’s something in here for everyone, whether you’re continuing on your Python journey from a Weekend.Dev workshop, or introducing Python to children.
Acing Python Interviews
It’s all about practice, practice, practice. Try problems on your own. Try talking about them with your friends or colleagues.
Because you’ll need to both solve problems, and communicate about them clearly. Don’t underestimate how important communication is during an interview!
How can you practice solving problems?
Checkout Kaggle if you need Data Science practice with Python. It’ll jumpstart you with notebooks, datasets, and if you come out on top you can even win money! It’s really just like the data analysis projects we do in Weekend.Dev workshops.
Checkout LeetCode interview coding collections. They have classic questions, and also real interview questions that have leaked from all tech companies large and small. Yes, I’ve seen firsthand how interview technical questions leak within days of using them!
Checkout Advent of Code for something more fun—gamified practice! If you find Kaggle and LeetCode too dry, Advent of Code may be just the thing for you. You can attempt problems from all of the years, back to 2015. The puzzles have fun, story-based backgrounds and annual themes. Every year there are 25 challenges, released daily from December 1 to December 25. Gear up and you can even compete this December!
