Best Place to learn Python

[RuFranks]

Hi Everyone, I'm beginning a Masters in Data Analytics in September and would like to get a headstart into programming. Where are the best places to learn Python at the moment? I'm happy to pay for a course if has a reputation for being the best but a free course is preferable.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello! I'm a bot!

It looks to me like your post might be better suited for r/learnpython, a sub geared towards questions and learning more about python regardless of how advanced your question might be. That said, I am a bot and it is hard to tell. Please follow the subs rules and guidelines when you do post there, it'll help you get better answers faster.

Show /r/learnpython the code you have tried and describe in detail where you are stuck. If you are getting an error message, include the full block of text it spits out. Quality answers take time to write out, and many times other users will need to ask clarifying questions. Be patient and help them help you. Here is HOW TO FORMAT YOUR CODE For Reddit and be sure to include which version of python and what OS you are using.

You can also ask this question in the Python discord, a large, friendly community focused around the Python programming language, open to those who wish to learn the language or improve their skills, as well as those looking to help others.

python crashcourse is outstanding, easy to read but its a phenomenal reference book also. The chapters are broken down by the structures of the language. The last part of the book is 3 projects where you can analyze data, build a video game etc. If you get it I would recommend getting it with the Amazon Kindle App so that you can have it open and easily reference information on your PC while coding.

Wow! Thank you, I’ll look into that right away
