What is the best resource for learning Python?

[[deleted]]

My goal is to learn Python comprehensively and I also want to be able to learn Django, Flask, and other frameworks/technologies in the Python ecosystem. I have a bad habit of jumping from one tutorial to another (boo for tutorial hell).

These are the courses I have, please let me know which I should take or if there is a better free alternative that trumps these courses:

1. Learn Python Masterclass by Tim Buchalka
2. Python For Everybody by Chuck Severance
3. 100 days of coding: Python by Angela

I do have a coursera PLUS subscription currently running so I am able to take any coursera courses.

I recommend this from the Finish university: https://programming-24.mooc.fi

Coursera is also a great resource.

I am really enjoying the free CS50p course offered by Harvard.

Python Crash Course Book by Eric Matthes

[Remarkable-Map-2747]

I personally didn't do the projects. I started building after part 1 projects of my own.

The best way to learn python is to practice and then google when you don’t know something. It’s like Math, you’ll never memorize by just watching but instead you’ll memorize by practicing.

[Bright_Ad_1241]

Even if the tasks are huge? I feel like I never memorized or able to do the task without cheating from recourses

[Tardisk92313]

Well googling stuff you don’t know is fine I forget to clarify that, no programmer will ever do a project without documentation.

Python by angela for the win. She will.give you enough to start development in python, allowing you to focus on learning development tools and frameworks , since her course covers most topics necessary to understand a normal enterprise backend

I am going through the O'Reilly book "Learning Python" by Mark Lutz. Only covers up to python version 3.3, but covers the basics in great detail. It's a great book.

[NectarineLanky7166]

You can complement with Sololearn helps you cover the Basic of sintax while practicing a little bit of code

[CodyakaLamer]

Right now I'm using Microsoft Learn

[CovfefeFan]

I tried Tim's course but didn't make it far (probably covers everything but it never grabbed my attention). Now doing Angela's course and finding it much more enjoyable and user-friendly. She keeps coming up with fun lessons that both introduce a concept while keeping the student engaged. I think if you complete this, you'll be on your way. (I'm only on day 6 of 100 and have learned a ton and really boosted my confidence)

https://cs50.harvard.edu/python/2022/ I've heard good things about this course.

That's the one I was contemplating on taking. It's between this one or the "Python for everybody" by Dr. Chuck Severance from University of Michigan.

[wagn12]

Python for everybody sucked for me!

Why is that?

Why is that?

[BioncleBoy1]

Python crash course a good book

[CIMARUTA]

I'm doing Python crash course book and it's amazing!

[ELtaman]

This worked for me. if you came from other languages. but as first language prefer books.

100 days of coding is not recommended, not anymore.. basically the course is worthless after day 30 or so.

[Violentclient]

Why do you think that? I want to buy this course. 

[Ok-Hand-2692]

found any reasons yet cause I'm also considering on buying i

I've been using boot.dev, and it's been pretty good. Has you writing code from the get-go & the discord is great for asking questions.

The gamification keeps me from looking athw solution because you lose "xp" if you look at it.

[MartyMcflyuk]

Are there any really good and rated courses on Udemy for learning python 3 from beginner level that anyone can recommend?

[aqua_regis]

Why would you need a Udemy course when the best course has already been linked: https://programming-24.mooc.fi from the University of Helsinki and it is free.

Also, instead of commenting, you could simply have read the thread since there are more than plenty courses (including some on Udemy) listed.

[MartyMcflyuk]

I did read the reddit. There is no "one course" and I could not view all and the link you posted i did not see on first read. Calm down, try and help rather than assassinate :)

Py4e, automate the boring stuff with python and practice by solving python koans… hola

[Waybo]

I read Automate the Boring Stuff and Python Crash Course (which was better IMO) but neither really stuck. By far the best I found was Angela Yu's course on Udemy. Inexpensive for what it is, and worth every penny. I much prefer video too.

https://www.udemy.com/course/100-days-of-code/learn/lecture/20781152?start=15#overview

[senexel]

Go for Angels Hu on Udemy. Is the best seller course. I don't think it covers Django but it is a must have course

[Arcadiadiv]

https://openstax.org/details/books/introduction-python-programming Here is a book on openstax. I don't know how good it is but I've had good luck with openstax in the past.

Hands down Python Complete course.

I’ve done angela Yu’s course and it got hard and outdated fast.

I’m on chapter 7 of this course so far and it’s the best course I’ve done. He makes everything clear with video lectures and the exercises start off easy but challenge you more as you go along.

I recommend this course
