A fascinating question.
more ...... I'm baffled by the amount of books you've published over the course of time. Currently Reddit suggests that I use Building Skills in Python under Beginner's section, but it looks quite outdated. So back and forth, I found your Building Skills in OO on GitHub Page and …
An interesting tweet. The roadmap has three sections. I'm not sure this is actually complete, or even grouped correctly. It is a very good list of topics.
