I made more or less this journey a year ago, I’d dabbled in Python in the past, then done a decade or so of Ruby before accepting a job at a Python shop. Advanced Python Development by Matthew Wilkes was great for giving a jumpstart from “I can read Python and throw together some quick and dirty code” to “I can write Python to a professional standard”. Coming over from Ruby I was very pleasantly surprised by just how good all the tooling is. Type checking is really well supported and an absolute godsend when working on large applications, and VSCode has deep support for the language.
