I have been developing software for over 25 years in various languages. I am new to Python because for me it is the very best fit for my business going forward. People ask me how do I keep up with the industry - probably the fastest moving industry there is. Books, email lists and conferences is how I keep up. I make a good living writing software and books and conferences are my education.
I can certainly sympathize with you if you are new to the programming world or can't afford books or conferences. I was in that situation for many years. There are tons of affordable or free resources for Python. I went to Amazon and ordered the book right away.
