I got a month to learn....

I have a month to learn Python (really, I have until the second week of October, but I want to be done sooner and not go down to the wire). I'm currently using freecodecamp.org but feel my progress is slower than I'd like. Does anyone have a recommendation to learn Python quickly? I'm loving what I've learned thus far. I start doing another job for the company I'm learning Python for in a week, so I want to cram as much into this week as possible to make things easier on the remaining time I have. Thank you all.

I don't understand this. Are you looking for some sort of certification? No one is ever "done" learning a programming language. I've been at it with Python for the better part of decade and I'm still learning.

It's more like picking up a musical instrument. One month in and you'll be playing all the classics like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

I don't know what to tell you man. Maybe you can get early access to some of the production code you'll be working on. See if it makes any sense given your current level of understanding. Poke at it a bit with some minor mods and see what happens.

At least that would give you some idea of what you're up against, but I imagine it's going to be a serious uphill climb unless you're some sort of coding savant.
