Recently I was asked about Python books covering Object Oriented programming for someone coming from another language. Here are some resources:
- I recommend subscribing to Safari Books Online. They have jillions of books and videos, including "Python Beyond The Basics - Object Oriented Programming" (high-ranked video). It's $40/month. If you're a professional Dev or DevOps, or trying to be, it's an easy investment.
- the class section of "Modern Python Cookbook" (book) has tons of real-world Python idioms: designing classes with lots vs little processing, classes with __slots__, and advanced class design... Actually this book looks great I'm going to read it.
- David Beazley's "Python Cookbook" is great, overflowing with real-world problems, solutions, and discussion.
- in the Los Angeles region all the Lynda.com tech resources are freeee with an LA public library card.
- the "Cookbook" books I find are good for someone coming from another language, the books don't spend 100 pages talking about dictionaries and strings and so forth. It turns out there's tons of Cookbooks nowadays: data visualization, machine learning, testing, you name it!
