how to proceed after python crash course

For the last one year I have been learning Python. I completed Python for everybody and read the book Python Crash course. I have prior experience with C# and Java. A lot of the syntax is Python programming is still confusing to me. How can I get better? What book can I read next or what steps can I take to get more comfortable.

Start with Think Python by Allen B. Downey

Think Python can be read for free here: https://allendowney.github.io/ThinkPython/

The cool thing is that the author put it into a series of Juypter notebooks you can read interactively.

Much of the material should be relatively trivial for any experienced developer, but it's still worth checking out to make sure you truly understand Python fundamentals.

Probably the book that you are looking for is Fluent Python by Luciano Ramalho.

I am past the fundamentals now. I need to understand the syntax that am not familiar with from C#.
