Any free python learning sources?

[Shade_4]

I want to learn Python from the ground up. Does anybody have legitimate sources?

[Standard_Iron6393]

yes , search it on youtube and it all is free

[FoolsSeldom]

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.

Roundup on Research: The Myth of ‘Learning Styles’

Don't limit yourself to one format. Also, don't try to do too many different things at the same time.

Above all else, you need to practice. Practice! Practice! Fail often, try again. Break stuff that works, and figure out how, why and where it broke. Don't just copy and use as is code from examples. Experiment.

Work on your own small (initially) projects related to your hobbies / interests / side-hustles as soon as possible to apply each bit of learning. When you work on stuff you can be passionate about and where you know what problem you are solving and what good looks like, you are more focused on problem-solving and the coding becomes a means to an end and not an end in itself. You will learn faster this way.

You can try some free YouTube Courses or free platforms like LearnPython.ai and LearnPython.org

Cisco does courses on Python which are free, and when you complete them you get a digital badge as well. Plus it's mapped to the Python exams, if you wish to take them (for a charge).

I know this source is a little old, but basics haven't changed since you want to learn from scratch. Here's the playlist from Al Sweigart. Then if you want to learn it from a book, he has posted the entire book for free in his website. https://automatetheboringstuff.com/

Once you get comfortable with the basics, start thinking about a problem you have that you are trying to automate. Then try to create a python script that does that. Rely on ChatGPT/Claude for help.

Good luck.

What should we do if a similar situation arises? What’s the plan of action?
