Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

I need to learn Python ASAP.

Hi I wanted to ask about any ways one can go about learning to program in Python within a few months. I have taken and completed the Codecademy course that is available for free online and have basic knowledge of Python. However I am applying to a major IT company for a summer internship and will need to up my skills in the language. Does anybody know any online resources (or other) that I can use to advance my skills within 2 months or so?

Thanks
-Sid

In addition to the above reply

You could have a look at this intermediate level Python course from MIT:

Have a look at Google Code Jam - https://code.google.com/codejam/past-contests
Challenging yourself to solve problems like this is a good way to learn

Don't forget the official Python docs and tutorials: https://docs.python.org/3/

Try getting involved in StackOverflow - https://stackoverflow.com - check out the kinds of Python questions people ask on there and challenge yourself to answer them (even if you don't submit the answer, you could try solving the problem yourself and compare your answer to the one which gets the most upvotes).

Lastly, if you aren't currently using an IDE, have a look at PyCharm. IDEs are really helpful for learning, because you get access to things like auto-complete, mouse-over help, error hints, syntax highlighting, debugger breakpoints, and other useful tools: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puBXxzcWJIQ
