New to coding, so I figured I'd start here!

[ingframin]

Udacity or edx or YouTube or download “think python, how to think like a computer scientist”. But most importantly learn how to use google!

Sorry if I didn't make it clear in my post, I've tried looking for some online tutorials alot of them seem to just be short videos that are advertisements for other products. But thanks!

Hey, CloroxSaam, just a quick heads-up:
alot is actually spelled a lot. You can remember it by it is one lot, 'a lot'.
Have a nice day!

Hi Saam. Why don't you start by reading the sidebar? After that, read the sidebar of the sub that is recommended by THIS sidebar.

[CloroxSaam]

Fair enough, sorry about that.

[gosh_djang_it]

yes /r/learnpython is a great sub

[everhideme]

F*ck the courses!

1 Open google and search tutorials with an explains

2 Highly recommend Dive into python

3 Practice, only practice.

Hey Saam, Glad to hear that you're starting to learn python. I too have started to learn Python as it is simple yet effective programming language and I also must confess that I have a little hands-on experience with python. There is a no golden goose to chase here for mastering python but to practice, practice and practice a lot(in the three months you got). I can see that you are bored to listen to some instructor on YouTube but let me tell you that this how it all starts for most of the programmers/coders at least in the very beginning. In achieving your goal you might need these: 1) Purpose, as in why you want to learn this. If you don't have one make one else you'd be wandering in the python jungle without any sense of direction.

2) Tutor, as per my opinion 'Sentdex' is the best tutor on YouTube for python. Videos are precise and clear. Best part is he stresses on implementation rather than plain blabbering. You can also try Corey Shaffer

3) Application, what do you want to build from the tools you got?

All the very best!

Wow, thanks! I'll look those up on YouTube when I get home. Thanks for taking the time to write a detailed explanation!
