There's lots of good conference videos online regarding Python and Django development.
Instead of watching ST:TNG at the computer, I figure it'd more productive to hone my knowledge . Fire away with some of your most inspiring and educational Python, Django, or simply programming related talks. Provide an explanation of why you found the talk useful.
Examples:
James Bennet on Re-usable Apps - Got me to take a serious look at django apps. Put together a fairly robust site in two days afterwards with django-cms, django-photologue, django-contact-form. Good advice on when your app is crossing boundaries and why it's good to err on the site of 'make it a separate app.'
blip.tv's pycon channel has all talks from Pycon 2009 and (recently concluded) 2010 -- seriously good stuff! Pick your talks from the "episodes archive" pages.

I've found some of the google tech talks on Python or Django very informative.
They have quite a few, so doing a search on "Django" or "Python" at the following website might be a good idea.

When I was looking for online Django tutorial videos, I stumbled across http://showmedo.com/learningpaths/20/view. Nice community developed video tutorial site, which lays out step by step approach to learning. Some of the videos are posted 2 or 3 years before, so the material may not be latest. Nevertheless, it may help you with understanding the fundamentals.
In the same vain as the answer from Alex, Djangocon has videos up on blip. http://blip.tv/djangocon

My goal is to land a job in Data Science and I would like to ask the people who already work in this field and who can give me advise which Python Framework (Flask or Django) should I master / focus on?
My plan is to create machine learning projects and deploy them to a server, and present them as my experience since I don't have any actual work experience in this field. But I don't want to make a mistake spending hours and hours mastering framework that no one use and then learn again.
Thank You.
Both are good options.
Flask for small scope.
Django is complete, has feature for almost everything out of the box.
You might also include in your stack: pandas, spark, tensor flow, Apache Bean, Google Data Flow, and other related stuff.
Start doing small projects from the courses and tutorials to begin a portfolio, always go for the official documentation to tie up things.
The most important is one Python. Getting really good with Python is the most important pre-requisite.
Then learn data Science Python libraries, first NumPy, and then Pandas.
After that move on to advanced tools like TensorFlow, or the programming language R.
One of the best places to learn more about these technologies, take free courses on freecodecamp.org, first do the course on Python computing, then TensorFlow, both of these are great.

So I recently got interested in learning to program. With some light research, I found out that python seems to be a good language and a nice language to start with.
But I have some difficulty in choosing how to start learning it as a simple google search
will turn up with hundreds of different paid guides written tutorials video tutorials and i have no way of knowing if one might be bad or good.
As such I would love to hear some people recommend courses/videos or any other way to get started. Thanks for any help

Just a suggestion
When I started with python, I found codeacademy's course on python https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-python-3 really helpful for the basics. You can practice online and the small tasks in the course are really helpful in understanding the basics.
Once you touch base with the basics of python then you can pick a project like tic-tac-toe, snake or a simple calculator to improve your skills. Take up small projects after finishing the course and you'll find yourself more comfortable with the language.
Although this is how I started, I bet answers from people expert in the domain might be more insightful, Cheers!
Out of many video resources which I've watched so far, this one was one of the best out there by Tim Buchalka:

I don't know if this is the best place to ask this, but I'm not looking for help on a specific problem. I'm looking into block chain technology and some bit coin stuff. Ran into someone that does a lot of articles on the subject and was curious about it.
Since its new(ish) technology and still up and coming, I'm wonder if it would be interesting to get involved somehow and help shape and/or add to it in some way.
What types of development is going on out there on this technology these days. All the reading material I can find online related to development and block chain is 4+years old. I'm sure its much different today. Anyone know of some good resources for learning about the technology, what type of development opportunities there are (python preferred) and just general info?
thanks
I would say that as a developer you will be interested in smart-contract. Ethereum with it's Solidity as the most well-known platform which offers smart-contracts is a good point to start. Check out frameworks built on top of Ethereum like truffle as well
I think that as developers the best thing we can do now is to develop some applications which simplifies using of blockchain for people because it's still looks like stuff for geeks.
May be you an idea of web-service which will be much better in case of using blockchain and smart-contracts? Great! Create MVP, get expertise in the area, show your product, talk to people and go on.
BitCoin is already pretty much hit its peak. The price of BitCoin is now dropping, and all you can find about it is already online. The BitCoin chains that you are looking for is pretty much used by connecting a bunch of Raspberry Pis that run the BitCoin mining program on it. The more you have, the faster you will mine the BitCoins, and you will profit from it. However, BitCoin mining is very hard to do, and it takes a very long time. You waste more money using electricity than actually getting the BitCoins. I'm sorry if you already know this information, and you still want to mine BitCoins. But this is all I have to say about this topic (Trust me, I've tried to do it -- and it's tough).

I am looking for online resource or any good e-book for developing the small games using python language with object orientated approach . my objective is to create small games in class/object fashion.
I googled it but didn't get any good link.
can anybody knows about good resource to start?
Look into Kivy (mobile/cross-platform--which uses PyGame) or PyGame for game development modules. Python is an object-oriented language so mostly everything created python should be object-oriented naturally.
Just some references to get you started:
PyGame:http://gamedevelopment.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-learn-pygame--cms-24184
Kivy Docs: https://kivy.org/docs/tutorials/pong.html
Alexander Taylor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7UKmK9eQLY
First of all, these types of questions usually get closed quickly because "help me find a tool, book or resource" is generally not welcome.
That said we do our best to help anyway before questions get shut down.
I would recommend Pygame if you're a beginner, otherwise I'd suggest Pyglet every day of the week.
I just posted a good example yesterday of how you can OOP some OpenGL stuff that can be used for games that I think work really well. I also gave a semi descent description of every step to make it more logical (bare in mind I was speeded out of my brains while typing it so pardon the language):

Check that out and see if that is in your ballpark of what you hand in mind band best for luck to your journey.

I started to learn Django, and I have downloaded some videos from youtube and downloaded some free Django books. I feel that we can only develop blogs in Django. In every video or book explaining the framework, it is about making a blog.
Please correct me if we could develop another web application like a Tracking System, HR system, finance systems or sales application.
You can definitely build things that not blogs in Django. Blogs are used as example projects because they are fairly straightforward to design and understand, but you can build pretty much anything in Django as long as its a restful web service.
Here you can find couple of example which are not BLOG examples.
http://lightbird.net/dbe2/
you can find there: calendarapp, tracking_issues app.
