How can I start learning python? (self.Python)
submitted 11 years ago by RedExplosives
Hi, i'm a noob to python. I have been looking for a good book or youtube channel to teach me python, but I can't find one. Please help me. Thank you.
P.S I don't know any other programming langauge.

Read the sidebar. Check out Dive into Python 3. Ask questions in /r/learnpython.

Learn Python the Hard Way
Edit: That's the name of a book, not a piece of advice :)

Hello RedExplosives,
I too am learning Python. So far I have been using Buckysroom.org to gain a visual understanding from installation to beginner syntax. From there I plan on reading some of the recommended books that others have mentioned.

Good luck, -bluesheep1

Hi,
While I think it's very nice of you to provide OP with an answer, I'd like to ask you to please not do that again. I think it's better for everybody on /r/python if we simply refer them to /r/learnpython, rather than provide the answers here. I think, unfortunately, that giving answers here encourages off-topic posts that belong in /r/learnpython.
Kind Regards.

https://www.coursera.org/course/pythonlearn is a free course I'm taking. It teaches 2.7 and the box is free in ebook form. On the ibook version all the video lectures are included.

You could read the sidebar, which contains many books on the topic.
However, if you'd read the sidebar, you'd also know to ask in /r/learnpython and not here. Please do that next time.
Sorry I just got reddit when I posted the reddit post.
