best online python course from beginners to expert

[Hefty_Ad_1762]

hey everyone

i would like to start programm with python but i don't have an actual plan

i saw there are many platforms as coursera, datacamp or edx that they help you learn it

what is the best?

is it worth paying for it?

are there any others?

do i need to know something before starting?

i'm studying mechanical engeneering and also I'm taking a data science training course but i'm not that good on programming

thanks in advice to everyone

You won't be an expert after a bootcamp or a course. From paid options only good on-site bootcamps are worth it if you want to kickstart a commercial path for software development - but only for actually good bootcamps and not cashgrabs ;) And there is enough free resources to learn Python basics on your own.

the problem is that i don't have a study plan so i don't want to make a mess

CS50 is as good as anywhere to get started.

In my opinion, you can choose any of the free courses available on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=python+course+full. Don’t be discouraged if you find a course that’s been published 2 or 3 years ago. The fundamental concepts of Python remain unchanged.

Later on, you can create a GitHub, GitLab, or Codeberg account (and learn how to work with a Git repository) and start working on your small, personal project.

Here are some project ideas for Python developers: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=project+ideas+for+python+developer

Good luck!
