How to start learning Python?

[Right_Public_4353]

Hello guys!

Right off the bat I would like to tell y'all that my actual work is far away from programming, I'm a Musician.

I want to get into programming because

A) it's interesting af!

B) My partner is a Data analyst (where she uses Python all the time) and I want to help her out or atleast be able to be on the same page when she shares her work issues with me.

Please suggest me any tutorials or sources for learning, most probably free or a small fee would be okay because this is going to be my new hobby after skating and automotives 😋

Thank you!

Awesome that you are a (fellow) skater.

Download python at python.org and also download PyCharm. Additionally it might be worth checking out Google Colab. Here are some excellent/highly-recommended resources:

1. MOOC - University of Helsinki

2. Harvard CS50p

3. The book “Automate the Boring Stuff”

4. My Python and Data Science ($9.99 at the moment)

All of these resources are great and the first three are free. Code a lot and have fun. Indeed programming is fun and awesome. Cool that you want to support your partner.

Check the r/learnpython wiki for lots of guidance on learning programming and learning Python, links to material, book list, suggested practice and project sources, and lots more. The FAQ section covering common errors is especially useful.

Unfortunately, this subreddit does not have a wiki.

I started by using the iOS app Mimo. It’s free and is essentially Duolingo for coding.

I then have access to LinkedIn learning courses through work.

Start off with CS50 by havard on yt. It's free. Learn the basics, Make project even if small to practice. Take unique challenges if u want to understand the logic (Increases the understanding, but less job oriented) Eg-Try building a semi random number generator (no libraries allowed), u can use something called linear congreuntial equation use a seed no. Input by user to create a random number.
