Pick up a numerical analysis book of some sort. I learned out of Sauer, "Numerical Analysis" which I wasn't incredibly happy with and so I can't recommend it, but it covered the basics with example code in Matlab. Someone else here can probably recommend a better numerical methods textbook.

Some great free resources:

How far in are you? I've been wanting to do more stuff with PyMC3. I recently bought Bayesian Methods for Hackers to do so but a Slack study group sounds very helpful if I were to order this book as well.

Edit: I'd just like to confirm this group does plenty of Python despite the book only using R and whatever Stan is.

The pymc3 documentation is a good place to start if you enjoy reading through mini-tutorials: pymc3 docs

Also these books are pretty good, the first is a nice soft introduction to programming with pymc & bayesian methods, and the second is quite nice too, albeit targeted at R/STAN.

If you want to be valuable to companies post graduation you should learn more about programming (design templates, how to write tests, how to go from a paper to code). I recommend this book as a good starting place. Once you're comfortable with how the different methods work, pick up this book.
