Hi,
Just as the title says.
I've picked it up on Codecademy and some Google dev videos. I really like the language. Any plans on offering Python courses (+ Django)

Yeah Kenneth Love is going to be teaching the Python course that's going to be available in July. So if you have any questions about it ask him! He's also got a couple of forum posts about it, too.
Gareth Borcherds

They sent that out in an email that I got on 5/8/14. I'm looking forward to those :)
Maxim Andreev
24,529 PointsThat's great! Any chance there will be separate lessons on Django too?
Kenneth Love
Treehouse Guest TeacherHi!
Yeah, we'll be doing some Django courses, too. Our first course, Python Basics will be out in late July and we'll probably be following that with Django Basics (although an intermediate Python course might come first, I'm not sure yet).
Maxim Andreev
24,529 PointsNice. So far I have done the Python course at Codecademy covering variables, lists, tupels, dicts, loops, functions, classes, methods etc. And also gone over the Google Dev Python lectures on youtube and am going through the MIT intro to comp sci and programming course (tons of python in it). I feel like I have decent enough understanding of Python to progress to Django and start building some web apps.
Are there any guides you might recommend aside from the tutorial on the django website?
My goal is to be able to build prototypes for iOS & web
Kenneth Love
Treehouse Guest TeacherThe official tutorial is great. I've heard great things about Tango with Django, too.
Maxim Andreev
24,529 PointsGreat thank you, I'll check out Tango with Django.
Maxim Andreev
24,529 PointsLast question. I am using PyCharm but is there a cloud IDE you would recommend (with Django)
Kenneth Love
Treehouse Guest TeacherSorry, I can't really help you there. I do everything in Vim :)
I've heard good things about codio, though.

24,529 PointsHow about Pandas, NumPy or SciPy? How advanced are you planning on getting into Python?
Kenneth Love
Treehouse Guest TeacherYeah, we have plans for some data science courses, both scientific computing with things like Pandas and NumPy (and IPython Notebook, of course), and geo-mapping courses as well.
