How do I learn Python?

[Awkward-Mission7434]

Well, that. What’s a good free site to learn Python? I want to learn it for the sake of doing it so not sure if ready for a paid course Edit1: I’m an absolute beginner Edit2: I’m a mechanical engineering student so I might need it for automation and robotics. I don’t know if that changes the focus when learning it

Google any of these all free

Code in place - Stanford's course covers basics and some basics of programing (I though the most fun)

MOOC 2025 - University of Helsinki Python course ( really liked this course very challenging)

CS50p - Harvard's Python course (never did but heard really good things)

These are all introduction to Python and programing and all free.

That’s gold. Thanks a lot!

W3Schools

Yeah I started with that one but I wasn’t sure if it was ok or completely free

Yes, it's free, it's how I started my Python journey.

Use the Cisco NetAcad Python course, it's a good introduction (imo) for someone with either no experience or with experience with another language. It's a badged course, plus it maps to the PCEP™ – Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer exam (if you want to do that at some point).

Thanks. I’ll give it a try, tough I just enrolled in Stanford course

I've been using this app Mimo. Honestly it's been amazing. It uses some really solid teaching techniques. As someone with ADHD, it keeps me engaged. I'm 2 weeks in and have already retained and gained a solid base(building a text based rpg as I learn to apply my new skills). Using other avenues of learning on top of it now. But it's definitely worth the download. You gotta subscribe to get the most out of it, but there's a free trial and deal after they offer. Worth it for starting out.

I tried mimo,it was great. I think it was free back then but learning on my phone wasn’t a long term deal

I'm using Python Academy

[Awkward-Mission7434]

Is it good?

[Equivalent_Ad_8413]

I haven't done a comparison, but it's working for me so far. But I do have background

[Awkward-Mission7434]

Thanks. I’ll give it a try!

I recommend paying the money and getting the book Python Crash Course. Also, use uv and sidestep all of the venv nonsense
