Where do you live? The big tech cities have plenty of events and hackerspace-esque places that will hold fundamentals courses. Look for Meetups.
Despite your comment on Rails hiring, I've found that the larger Python community runs better events. Everything you learn about CS, programming, software engineering, web performance, etc. will hold.
Also, even if it seems illogical for some reason, nobody uses just one thing. The advantages that certain languages and toolkits hold over others are a wash unless you're doing something special, and you already recognize that you're not. You'll pick up much more as time goes on, and you'll never stop.
- Jcasc 16y agoI'm from NY. I plan on networking as soon as I develop my understanding a bit further. I will look to take advantage of fundamentals courses. That's a good idea, thanks. I'm going to play around with Python for the rest of the week and then decide. It really doesn't matter to me much, I have no preference... I'm just eager to pick one and start prototyping.
- ibejoeb 16y agoThe NYC Python meetup is terrific. Tons of smart people there. There's a huge crossover with the Django meetup. NYC Ruby is good too. You should consider the Web Performance meetup if you want to know about web architecture. There are fundamentals courses at General Assembly, and it's a good environment.
