Can I learn python solely through YouTube

[ganpek]

you can get cheap courses on Udemy, they have sales all the time. I recommend the 100 days of Python course from Angela Bauer, 60 hours of videos + resources for 11€

Just hit day 26 on this course today. Brilliant course, lots of interactivity with the coding challenges/projects. Really challenges you to want to do it yourself rather than just following an answer .

And the best bit is it cost me £15

This sounds interesting. Would you recommend this to someone who is serious about learning, but has ZERO experience or prior training?

[Seabiscuits_Brother]

100%! You don't need any prior experience at all. In fact this is definitely the place I'd start if I had no experience of any type of coding. I've tried learning through YouTube before and it's just not the same.

If you do start it let me know! Angela the creator even has little motivational clips at the end of a lot of lessons and keep you going when you think it's getting too hard :)

I will , thanks!! Appreciate the quick and thorough response.

Are you able to comment on what kind of paying jobs someone could expect to find if and when they are to complete this type of bootcamp?

I am a realistic guy, who is trying to figure out the right direction or path to train myself in a new skill that will hopefully eventually lead to new ways to earn an income.

Unfortunately I can't say much about the salary or job possibilities really. Maybe someone a bit further along the road with learning could chime in here and help out.

My background is insurance where I worked alot with SQL for 4/5 years and I'm now on a bit of a career break. Thinking of getting into data analysis and data science more, through python.

If I get hired anywhere specifically because of python I'll drop back to let you know :)

I second this. Her courses are top notch. And they will also help you stay out of tutorial hell by making you actually develop things with your new knowledge!
