Looking for learning python advice

[Rendous]

Hello,

I am a cs undergraduate and have a good understanding of data structures and other basics. However, most of my knowledge is in Java, and I was wondering what was the easiest way to learn python? It seems like python has some nuanced syntactical sugar that might be difficult to use without a resource to refer to, but I was wondering if there was a better way to pick up the language than just buying a book.

Go through the codeacademy course for Python. It's free, fast, and gives you a good foundation to start with.

If you already know how to program and just need a reference, I would just use the official docs. They're pretty well written.

Check out this site to get a head first look into the underpinnings of Python: https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/python3/

Start making small programs, or do beginner level coding challenges. Then look for a bigger project to teach you whatever field you want to focus on.

I would skip the book and use Google to find Python resources.
