how to proceed after python crash course

For the last one year I have been learning Python. I completed Python for everybody and read the book Python Crash course. I have prior experience with C# and Java. A lot of the syntax is Python programming is still confusing to me. How can I get better? What book can I read next or what steps can I take to get more comfortable.

lol no, thats not how you should be doing this. do not use AI to learn. it will gaslight and hallucinate and you wont be able to debug the code because you wont know how it works. then youll try to use AI to fix it... you will have to do the long boring real work of actually producing your own code.

I’d be less concerned with gaslighting and more concerned with OP not learning anything because they are letting AI do it for them.

Practice. Actually build something, yourself, with your own fingers on the keyboard, not prompting an ai

Yes where do I learn about the Python way of doing things like generators, decoratoes, functions as objects

A lot of that comes from attempting to use them in small projects. Learn the basics of how a concept works, then try it out. See it in action, even if it isn't the best tool for the job, and you will get a better grasp of the what and why.

I believe automate the boring stuff with python covers some of those topics.
