🐍 Python Mastery
❓ Where to Start!
If you're serious about starting your journey as a Pythonista, then you need to start with the basics. As a first approach to the language, we suggest that you start with the book "How to Think Like a Computer Scientist: Learning with Python 3" and follow up with the exercises presented in "Python By Example: Learning to Program in 150 Challenges". All exercises in the latter book have solutions, so it could be a nice way for you to start practicing.
If you feel up to it, and to keep yourself in check, you can contribute with exercises and solutions that you come up with to this repository. Just make sure to follow the structure under python-mastery and add your exercise and solution.py, or add a new version of a solution in case the exercise already exists and you think your solution is different from the one(s) presented (e.g. solution-03.py).
