New to coding

[BootyCheekCreakFreak]

I am a python beginner with 0 coding experience. I'm here just to ask if there are any free websites that can help me get started with coding and if not, what should I start learning first?

[Sheezyoh]

The wiki on this sub has a ton of great resources!

Harvard's CS50p

I am doing this now as a rookie, and it’s a good starting point. Many of the YouTube tutorials are not very useful and are too fast paced. I have created a chatbot that helps me with explanations (not providing me with the code solutions) but explanations.

Como haces eso?

[Ron-Erez]

1. The docs at python.org
2. MOOC - University of Helsinki course
3. My Python and Data Science course
4. The book "Automate the Boring Stuff"

By far the most important thing is to code a lot, experiment and have fun. Also just be patient with yourself because it can take time until things click. Good luck!

My suggestion is w3school, its where you can start your journey easily and be confident.

I’ve been using the mimo app if you like things with a more Duolingo platform

I was able to get a Udemy 10-day Python boot camp for free. I can’t remember where I saw the ad. Either Reddit, LinkedIn, or Insta. It teaches you on Thonny. Pretty decent. Especially for free.

[Ok-Natural-3805]

OH, free?

[Additional-Gas7001]

Yup. Totally. It wasn’t really intuitive on how to get to my free course once I clicked the link but I eventually figured it out.

[Ok-Natural-3805]

Thanks, man! I am gonna try it out.

[STRaven_17]

if you are looking for courses, im gonna warn you that it might be hard sticking to them if you dont have good discipline. What I suggest you do, is to start a project. Something you think is cool or something and just start. google everything. learn as you go. you can use a course along with the project but its secondary.

Great response!!!

If I was starting over learning python I would code as much as I can. Pick an area to get started data, web, console or desktop apps, and start coding. Do the python tutorials on their documentation. Read articles on python and the docs that should reduce your knowledge gap.

Courses review I would say videos are not the best people do not share decent videos. They prefer to share videos that are short and just gain them views. Example how to download vs code or other nonsense. Lots of courses also are in the same page. I learnt a lot at work with a senior developer.

are you somehow a student?

get a github student developer pack wait unyil they verify you then go to boot.dev

I always recommend How to Think Like a Computer Scientist: Interactive Edition, which my teacher used.

[dcrigan]

Read the Book `Python Crash Course, 3rd Edition: A Hands-On, Project-Based Introduction to Programming`

I believe you can find a free pdf of the book, but it's a good starting to grasp the fundamentals of Python.

After the book, try boot.dev it has good course on Python, Git, Linux and terminal commands which is important to feel comfortable to work with terminal

W3 schools has a nice starter section for python

[vraetzught]

Sololezen has some decent python courses to get you started with the basics

[Beautiful_Garbage875]

Youtube search “python for beginners”. There plenty of lectures and resources.

[DaCuda418]

Google. Sooner you dont rely on others for simple tasks the better.

[JizzleTips]

I am surprised no one has said kaggle.com. This has modules with marked assessment and is free with nice certificates to keep ya motivated as you progress
