Hi real developer. Please give me advice how to become real python developer. I just started to learn python from scratch, I've developed my first django website ( http://review.food-singapore.com/ ). I have developed many scripts/scrapers (but seems that's just pathetic) And now when I'm trying to apply any full time python job, almost all require link to github/some project which I don't have. How to get any real python position?

I'm not developer1, but I'm happy to give you some pointers. My email address is in my profile.

Why not put your scripts and scrapers on github?

thanks! About scripts I think they won't be useful for anyone, because most of them are like: "scrape all apps from app store", "scape 30 million business profiles from website A.", etc. But anyway will try to put some :)

It would be great if they would be useful for somebody, but here you are just trying to impress would-be employers.

Zed Shaw's course of course is an option
