This repo only contains python talks that I have seen and somehow I recommend, either as a basic python knowledge, advanced/detailed, or simply amusing talks.
It also contains references to Blogs I have read and found useful as well as Books or other sources.
Future change: I will move some sections to different files to make it easier to add new info. For now this is good enough.
This is my personal preference, you may not like the talks, may like talks that I dislike, may find boring talks that I find interesting or may disagree with how I classify things, and that is ok. I made the repo public just in case it is useful to another one.

Fluent Python [2nd Ed] Luciano Ramalho, O'Reilly. (Did not read it but Should be even better)
Side note: I can't stand Luciano's talks. I think he did an incredible job with the book and expect the second edition to be even better... but I just can't stay awake during his talks. All the ones I have seen, were of chapters or information that was in the first book. Feel free to try his talks, the info is great. It might be just me that gets bored in the talks
