Data engineering learning path with recommended resources

Re:Data engineering learning path with recommended resources by miguendes on Sunday October 18, 2020 @03:03PM (#24820249)

Is it just me or does anybody feel overwhelmed with lists like these?

I really appreciate the effort but as an anxious person I always paralyzed or disheartened by the road ahead.

For instance, one of the recommendations is Learning Python, 5th Edition - Mark Lutz. This is book alone is a tome.

But anyways, it looks very well presented. Much better than plain bullet points. Well done!

Not only `Learning Python, 5th Edition by Mark Lutz` is a tome standing at 1500+ pages -- it is hopelessly outdated. Published in 2013 it covers Python-2.7 and Python-3.3 only. By now both these versions are deprecated.

Is that really hopelessly outdated? I'm aware that new features like type hints ad dataclasses are enabling people to do some very cool things but you'd hope the majority of the language skills and patterns are still transferrable?
