I have a list of curated resources here: https://learnbyexample.github.io/py_resources/
There are sections for beginners, intermediate, advanced, etc. Also included are exercises, projects, debugging, testing, and many more stuff. Hope it helps :)

I have a book for Perl One-Liners as well, which I'm currently revising :)
I've written books on regex too, if you are interested in learning ;)
I've read his Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn trilogy. Epic dark fantasy, great characters and worldbuilding. The plot is good too, but the pacing goes off rail sometimes.
I read three progression fantasy books in the past three days, so I'm going to take a break and get some of my actual work done :D
Card Mage: Slumdog Deckbuilder by Benedict Patrick (book 1 of a new series) was well written and a compelling read, but I'd have enjoyed it a lot more if it was lighthearted.
Overpowered Dungeon Boy by Benjamin Barreth (2 book completed series) was a lighthearted fun read. The OP main character took a while to warm up to, but many of the side characters were easy to root for.
I mostly read on Kindle Unlimited. A lot of the progression fantasy and cozy fantasy books are on KU (my current favorite subgenres), so there's no shortage of books to read. In addition, there's plenty of self-pub fantasy and sci-fi books (there are two competitions: SPFBO and SPSFC which help in finding good ones to read).
Was going to suggest Cradle as well!
I'd add Mage Errant by John Bierce - magical academy, 4 member student group who trust each other, competent teachers, amazing worldbuilding, big battles (in later books), etc.

There was a discussion thread few days back for books that combine sci-fi and magic: https://programming.dev/post/276456
I had to learn Linux CLI tools, Vim and Perl at my very first job. Have a soft spot for Perl, despite not using it much these days other than occasional one-liners (mainly for advanced regex features).
