There's so much information on the web, or via books/video courses/MOOCs that there's no need to do the structured learning thing. Particularly with Python. Plus, Python is used in security to create scripts/tools.
EDIT: Example of some books, vis-a-vis Python and security (learn the basics first).
* Violent Python: A Cookbook for Hackers, Forensic Analysts, Penetration Testers and Security Engineers
* Hacking Secret Ciphers with Python
* Python Penetration Testing Essentials
* Gray Hat Python: Python Programming for Hackers and Reverse Engineers
- tfg4k 12y agoYes, I am aware of and use some of these. I have an ex co-worker who is still a close friend and a developer who is always giving me advice and helping me find these kinds of resources. The financial thing was more about certification training, as I was (mistakenly) under the impression that they carried more weight and would open more doors for me. Especially in the Security realm. I had also looked at things like bloc.io but who really has that much money for that kind of training on their own? Thank you for the response!
