Courses to teach an experienced JavaScript dev Python


Hey all! I am an experienced JS dev and want to delve into the realms of Pyhton to expand my toolset.

I've found a load of courses online to teach people Python or JS but am struggling to find something which essentially teaches Python in the context of being a dev who already knows JS/TS.

I have found a couple articles which go through some of the differences but I figured there must be a course of some kind which is aimed at teaching to build out projects in Python by the way of giving the user a JS project and asking them to remake it.

Does anyone have anything reputable which they can recommend?

TIA!

From the same guy — Michael Kennedy of TalkPythonToMe podcast fame (though I think the courses came first). I’ve found his courses to be no-nonsense and good. The pacing and the teaching style aligns with how I learn.

There’s no subscription. Just buy a course and it’s yours. There are free ones too so you can check some Out.

Hard to recommend a course without more detail.
