#58 Create better Python programs with concurrency, libraries, and patterns
What do you focus on once you've learned the core concepts of the Python programming language and ecosystem?
Obviously, knowing a few fundamental packages in your space is critical. If you're a web developer, you should probably know flask or pyramid, and sqlalchemy really well. If you're a data scientist, import pandas, numpy, matplotlib need to be something you type often and intuitively.
But then what? Well I have a few topics for you! This week you'll meet Mark Summerfield, prolific author of many Python books. We spend time digging into the ideas behind his book Python in Practice: Create Better Programs Using Concurrency, Libraries, and Patterns.
What I really like about these topics is that they have a "long shelf life". You find them relevant over time even as frameworks come and go.
