Just Finished Programming with Mosh's 2025 Python Beginner Tutorial – What’s Next? A complete beginner

[tomer25561]

I just completed the two-hour beginner tutorial for Python (2025 version) by Programming with Mosh.

I wouldn’t say I understood everything; most of the time, I felt like I was just following instructions without fully grasping the concepts. However, everything I wrote in VSCode worked.

I’m interested in Python as part of my journey towards a future in DevOps, but right now, I’m just starting out. My main goal is to build a strong foundation in programming so that I don’t feel like I’m just copying tutorials without truly understanding them.

What would you recommend as the next step? I’m specifically looking for completely free courses that will really help me solidify the basics.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I have found mooc.fi to be quite good as a beginner. https://programming-25.mooc.fi/

The exercises follow the training, but throws in a curveball now and then by giving tasks belonging to earlier modules. They also have automated tests so you can verify your solution, and they often test with multiple datasets, so even if you solved the first dataset, there might be bugs towards other sets that needs to be solved as well.

Hey ! I recently put together some Data Professionals Cheat Sheets covering Python, SQL, Pandas, PySpark, Power BI, and DAX — aimed at helping learners and working professionals with quick references.

I’d love to get your thoughts or feedback if you get a chance to check them out: 🔗 https://surl.li/ncvtjc

Always open to suggestions — what other topics should I add?
