Hi, I’m currently speeding through Eric Matthes’s Python Crash Course book and it’s going really well. I love the style of it, where you can constantly copy the code it uses to explain a concept to you, then do an exercise to prove you understand it. I was wondering if there are any books with a similar style that would be good as a “follow-up” of sorts to this one?
I’ve had 2 recommendations so far: Automate the Boring Stuff with Python, the Python Cookbook, and Fluent Python. I’m not so sure about the first as I’ve heard some people say it’s for “complete beginners” and I’m looking for something intermediate-level, but the second sounds promising… is it? I really don’t know anything about the third.
If it helps, what I want to do with Python is to be an algo-trader. My dream is to be employed to write trading algos, but if not I’d still like to write them for myself (I already have the prerequisite financial and money market knowledge, so this is purely a Python question in case anybody reading is an algo trader).
Major thanks for any help, looking forward to hearing your ideas!
