I endorse every single word of this. As an EE pivoting to SWEng I completely endorse Zed Shaws book LPTHW and LMPTHW which teaches you to think about composing larger programs. You get a lot of practice on creating common Unix utilities. And once you have some Python under the belt migrate to Effective Python by Brett slatkin. Most importantly you should have an end goal, my initial goal back on 2006 was to get an entry level EE job that payed me a salary to support me and my wife and sponsored H1B. Fast forward to 2021 I am looking to get to work on Web3.0(solidity smart contracts and Decentralized oracles). So I am planning to learn Solodity using Brownie, React for Front end to crate Dapps and Algo/DS to pass the coding interview circus.
