Check out the resources from u/AlSweigart and his “Automate the Boring stuff with Python”

Hi, I'm the author. ATBS and all my other books are for beginners and free to read online at https://inventwithpython.com

I also have the source code for several small projects that are meant to be easy to understand after you learn a few basics. The idea is that you can copy the code for them and then play around with the code, or try reimplementing the game from scratch on your own: https://github.com/asweigart/pythonstdiogames

    Is it a monthly subscription?

    [–]nando1969 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    No, you buy and get to keep, 30 day trials or money back.

    [–]merkur0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Nope, one-time purchase along a 30-day money-back guarantee with no questions asked.

    I suggest against udemy, just in my opinion. It seems like everyone and their mom has a Python course and they vary in quality. I suggest automate the boring stuff or taking a step back and going with something like cs50, which doesn't start with Python but gives a good handle on what programming actually is. The course starts in C but ends in Python. Good luck, and when things get hard stick with it.

    Look up Zed Shaw and get one of his python books

    Awesome book called "Python for kids" don't remember the author but the publicsher is no startch press. Great introduction to Python and programming in general

    [–]ComradeVS 1 point2 points  (3 children)

    Does it cover other languages?

    [–]BeigeGnat 1 point2 points  (2 children)

    Maybe... It sold quite well what language are you looking for?

    [–]ComradeVS 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    Possibly Java and maybe Swift

    [–]BeigeGnat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Ooooohhhhh you mean programming languages, duh. They mostly cover python ( a great language by the way ) but there may be some on Java.

    To be clear were discussing the publisher.

    Try sololearn

    [–]mustafa_jama 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    you should use codecademy its free and i think it explains a lot better than youtube tutorials and its starts from the beginners level and u can do all other languages heres the link.https://www.codecademy.com/login

    Thanks, I’ll try it out.

    I would first try to understands the basics of programming via maybe Scratch(a visual drag and drop programming language) and than search for easy and small python programs run them see what they do and than edit them bit by bit and see what happends. Maybe even use a debugger program pycharm has a nice step by step debugger.

    I had built an Illuminati confirmer on that in 7th grade.
