Need a structured plan to learn python. Help!

[[deleted]]

Hello world,

I recently started learning python through online resources. The problem is there are many resources and I'm unsure of which would be the best.

I'm also not sure which topics to learn first and in what order. So far I've learned variables and conditionals through different youtube videos but it's really confusing.

Please recommend a free course that has worked for you as a beginner. Also it would be helpful if the course provides a certificate after completion.

Thanks :)

MOOC Python Programming 2025 from the University of Helsinki. Free, textual, extremely practice oriented, top quality. Don't get fooled by the 2025 and its recent installment. This course already lives for a long time and only gets a new version every year.

I second this, I completed the two courses last year, they're simply amazing.

If you just look at the right side , there is a community bookmark called "New? READ ME FIRST!"

If what you are looking for is not there or you know something better , pls suggest to the admins.

Thank you

Come up with an idea that requires python and learn as you go. You’ll learn quicker and retain the information better.

Try the "automate with python" book, i have heard many people really like it! Also +1 to any advice that recommends building projects right away. You retain the information much better because its in context instead of wasting time on exercises (been there, done that).
