If you were to start learning Python in 2025, where would you begin? /u/snoogazi Python Education

I’m a LAMP developer of 24 years, and recently got let go from my decade long job. It was legacy enterprise application, so I didn’t stay up to speed with all the latest and greatest stuff. Trying to learn all of it has become overwhelming so I’m thinking of switching gears and focusing on adding Python to my belt.

I’ve briefly dabbled with Python in the past, so I’m familiar with some basic syntax, but that’s about it. I want to learn it in a proper fashion, and not just jump into web stuff straight away. I also plan on using for shell scripting, Raspberry Pi projects, and general usage.

I’m familiar with some of the resources listed in r/python, but I’m curious where you would start if you were to begin your learning path today. What would you recommend? What would you do different?
