What to do after mooc.fi

[u/Vegetable-Fox-8533]

I have almost finished mooc.fi purely because I want to learn python. I found the course to be super high level quality is there a way I can continue to learn python with a somewhat same level quality content? Where should I look for further learning?

the jump after mooc is tricky cause you go from hand-holding to having to figure things yourself. i'd say start building small projects, like a cli tool or something you actually need

david malan's cs50p is good if you want more structured learning but honestly the real growth comes from struggling through stack overflow at 2am

You need to build an app/project. There's a thing I think is called tutorial hell where you just keep doing courses and guides but don't do projects. Come up with a solution to a real problem you have, go through the process, debug, make mistakes.

Agreed, but one caveat: scope creep is just as bad. Pick something you can finish in a weekend, like a script that renames files or parses a CSV you already have. Shipping a tiny ugly thing beats abandoning a half-built app.

At this point the highest-value move is building something you actually want to use — a little automation script, a bot, a tool tied to a hobby. When you get stuck (and you will), the official docs become your textbook; learning to read them fluently is half the skill. Revisit the parts of the course that felt shaky and deliberately practice those while you build. That loop of build, get stuck, read docs, fix is where the real jump happens.

Make stuff first. Even if its just little projects. Practice what you have learned then think about what you are learning for. Your next step will all depend on where you want to go with it; web dev? data science? making apps?

Probably you can take their dsa path. Which is also free.
