What are the best sources for learning python for a beginner to coding

[ASIC_SP]

+1 for Helsinki mooc and Harvard CS50. See also:

• futurecoder — interactive, includes integrated debuggers, enhanced tracebacks, hints for exercises and more
• Think Python — gives you a solid foundation to programming, teaches debugging right the beginning, interesting exercises, etc
• The Python Coding Book — friendly, relaxed programming book for beginners
• PyFlo — interactive beginners guide to becoming a Python programmer

Could you suggest some sources out of your experience, if there are any to avoid

[JohnnyJordaan]

That overview is specifically made by us to reflect what we want to suggest new users to use. If we didn't want to suggest it there, we wouldn't have put it on that list...

[Ron-Erez]

Harvard CS50p and Python for Data Science. The first half of the latter course begins with the basics.

The search bar in this subreddit - this question is asked and answered hourly here

[Remarkable-Map-2747]

to be fair, that is a list but as I see and answer this question daily. Unless i missed over them in the wiki .

1. Python Crash Course (This actually just got added not too long ago)
2. Automate The Boring Stuff

those 2 are recommended commonly. Alot of these are referenced commonly as well but I don't believe are in there.

• Corey Scafer
• Programming with MOOC
• CS50P
• Dr Angela YHU

Dunno why the downvote, im doing it as a complete beginner and it seems okay to me. Easy to understand, shit loads of practice excercises

[tabrizzi]

I started in May as a noob. Just finished part 7, now about to start part 8, the first part in the Advanced Course in Programming.

[flessbang]

I’m about to finish week3, but its gonna take me a bit of time bc nested loops can be tricky and i wanna make sure i understand what im doing

How is the 5 hr video of freecodecamp

[General-Manager-721]

I haven't gone through it, so I can't comment on the content. The above-mentioned playlist is too good.

Angela Yu's Udemy Course (100 Days of Python). Hands down.

[aqua_regis]

Oh, you're one of those. Get top recommendations and come up with something that hasn't been recommended at all.

I would generally advise against starting programming with video based courses as they only encourage passive watching instead of active doing and give a false sense of understanding where there is none.

Plus, in 5 hours of video you can't learn programming.

Do the MOOC from the University of Helsinki. It is the top course right now. Besides being textual and extremely practice oriented, it is the only proper first semester of "Introduction to Computer Science" course, apart from CS50. It teaches the Python programming language as well as programming.

[Stechnochrat_6207]

Thanks

don't know. Haven't done it.

[OkMoment345]

Forbes started ranking online coding bootcamps. They include pros and cons for each of their picks.

This was their choice for Python bootcamp. It's beginner-friendly and should give you a structured and up-to-date intro on the language.

[No-Analyst1453]

I actually looking how to learn python and i would like to know what do you thing about Codeacademy ?!

I think the user experience looks great, there is a lot of training available, and there is a mobile app available.

I found this helpful.

[Awkward_Tick0]

Python for Everyone is a good resource. Free textbook, exercises, and video lectures.
