[Tutor] Intermediate/advanced concepts

[btkuhn at email.unc.edu]

Hi everyone,

I've been teaching myself python for a few months and I'm becoming 
frustrated because I've kind of hit a wall in terms of learning new 
information. In an effort to continue to learn I've found some material 
on more intermediate/advanced topics like linked lists, nodes, trees, 
etc. However, it's kind of like reading a math textbook - the tutorials 
do a decent job of explaining the material but it's all kind of 
theoretical, and I'm not sure how I'd apply these concepts in real 
world applications, or incorporate them into my code. Does anyone have 
any suggestions for learning about real world application of more 
advanced concepts?

Also, are there other concepts that I should focus on? Frankly, I'm a 
bit bored because I've hit this ceiling, and I'm not really sure where 
to go to next.

Thanks,
Ben
