Resolves Issue #16 .

I added more Python tutorials and resources for beginners along with a few helpful tips about Medium.

Awesome! I’m going to leave #16 unresolved because that’s a call for longer form blog articles (plural) to be written about a resource or few at a time (like a case study) and this is a contribution to our page for rounding up resources.
Hey fun fact: we have a medium publication! If you can think of a way to add a link to it
and some sort of phrase inviting technical article submission to be published there, we might pursue that more as we gain momentum.


[StudyTonight](https://www.studytonight.com/python/) - This website categorizes tutorials by difficulty so that you can either start with the basics or with a particular topic.

[Full Stack Python](https://www.fullstackpython.com/) - An in-depth tutorial on building Python web applications and deploying them online.

This should be in the web dev section.

One great thing about this resource is the breadth + depth of topics covered! They do a really good job of making issues/concepts you’re guaranteed to run into as you get deeper into Python accessible/understandable.


[Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python 4th Edition](https://inventwithpython.com/invent4thed/) - This book teaches readers how to program in Python by making simple, classic games like Hangman and Tic Tac Toe.

[Google's Python Class](https://developers.google.com/edu/python/?hl=en) - This class has a slight barrier to entry but covers great topics like Lists, Dictionaries, and Regular Expressions

I think this link might still work without the ?hl=en. Could you remove/verify that? It would be better if it allows users to load other language options if their default is available.

[RealPython](https://realpython.com/) - This site has tons of tutorials, some free and some paid. It covers a wide range of topics including language fundamentals, machine learning, testing, frameworks, and many more.

This section is getting a bit long, so it might be time to add a section for these general resources that are more comprehensive or not just tutorials. But maybe that’s not necessary just yet. Let’s see how the other changes look first & then decide if what we have in this section has a clear-ish delineation.

This section currently has a header indicating this resource is a slide from a previous event. We should create a heading for tech writing, “other,” or something else and either move this resource there or remove the current heading and put all of these in that catch-all.

Is this a web dev resource?

It looks like it just covers OOP, not web dev.

Awesome. I would consider OOP "general" for the purposes of this list (at least for now), so this can go in that section. Thank you!
