Python - Python.org - Official Python website with documentation and tutorials. - Codecademy Python Course - Real Python - Python tutorials and articles for all skill levels.

I am no expert on facial recognition software but I read over an article on https://realpython.com. The site might be a little pricey (to some) but a few people in my Python group highly recommended it. It does have a ton of good tutorials.

Real Python

https://realpython.com/ is an excellent source. You can find there the building blocks of Python, explanations, hints, and tips.

Check out RealPython they were a great resource for me when I first started with Python. Linux skills will always be in demand too, though you might not necessarily find a job for both Python and Linux but I'm sure many exist. When you build a project make sure to document it and have a GitHub page for it, in a way your GitHub will serve as your resume in the software engineering space so take time to learn the platform and Git. More than likely you will also use GitHub or another VCS on the job so it's worth trying to understand.

Website: Real Python - Free docs are good

The missing semester of your cs education

https://missing.csail.mit.edu/

You mentioned having issues with accessory concepts so perhaps this might help: https://missing.csail.mit.edu/. There's also a chapter on git

https://missing.csail.mit.edu/ is a good way to pass the Dec-Jan break if you want to prep for CS2030S + some more general stuff.

Reflecting a little bit more I don't think it was replit's fault, per-say. But that change should have been made together with a larger adjustment to the program. Like adding a class/unit in the style of [the missing semester](https://missing.csail.mit.edu/) to make sure people came away with a good range of intuitions.

From MJD's post: I think CS curricula should have a class that focuses specifically on these issues, on the matter of how do you actually write software?

But they never do.

FWIW, MIT's "The Missing Semester of Your CS Education" attempts to deal with this lack, though, even there, it's an unofficial course taught between terms, during MIT's IAP -- Independent Activities Period[1] -- and not an actual CS course.

Link to the "missing semester of your CS degree" course by MIT.

Rightly called The Missing Semester (of Your CS Education), this class from MIT will teach you how to use some of the tools that are fundamental to the software engineering ecosystem. From shell scripting to the fundamentals of information security—spanning around 12 lectures—you can add a bunch of practical skills to your toolbox.
