What “paths” may I have as a future Python developer?
-
Hello! have been lurking in this sub for a while now. Am a 30 year old who’ve told himself that I’ll study programming for years and reading within this sub have encouraged me on a path towards finally studying Python. Am more than half-way through the introductory freecodecamp course with the book from py4e side by side.
My question though is, I guess what are the “paths” that knowledge with Python could have, so that I know which materials I would need to study?
Like for doctors, you have doctors that specialize with the heart, EMTs, etc.. I was wondering if there is a list of paths that I could select from towards my learning so that I’ll have atleast a goal further and some sort of structure while studying.
Can I possibly have any career with Python without studying anything related to web development? If so, what sub-field do I have to study? My target perhaps is to create apps or anything that may not touch extensively with web dev.
Thank you!

This site is dedicated to MS SQL Server. While there may be people here that can give you advice, you're likely to get better advice from a site that is specific to Python or at least a more general programming site.

I'm not sure I know of any pure Python developers. It seems to be one set of skills, out of many, that people possess.
I think you need to start scouring job postings. See what employers are actually looking for.

Quick thought, python is a bit of an adjustable wrench, fits many jobs but not perfect for any.

Still good to have in the back pocket!

Heh... this is more what it reminds me of in a couple of the places I do work for...
--Jeff Moden
RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
