Frankly, the mountain of resources is so vast that none of us can have
experience of more than a small fraction, and effective learning is a
factor not only of the quality of the teacher/book/training course, but
how it meshes with your own learning style.

If you like learn-by-doing, you might take a look at PyBites
(https://pybit.es/). But they're by no means the only players in that space!

It isn't a beginners tutorial but at some point 'Python Distilled' is
helpful.

Usual disclaimer: i don't know Beazley and am not getting any kickback.
