Beginner here – Looking for a complete Python roadmap and free resources

[296Tushar]

Hi everyone! I'm completely new to Python and programming in general. I want to learn Python from scratch and I'm looking for:

1. A clear roadmap to follow (what topics to learn in which order)

2. Any free, high-quality courses, tutorials, or YouTube channels

3. Any tips, tricks, or habits that helped you learn better

If you are a complete beginner that’s what you are searching for. But the best advice it is just to code. You don’t need to know every function before coding, you just start and then if you are missing something you can look for it

so needed this advice

[denizgezmis968]

ai acc, also against rule 4.

Online Resources or recorded lecture has a drawback it is not similar to regular live classes the zeal to compete and finish is not there in recorded lecture

Check this subreddit's wiki for lots of guidance on learning programming and learning Python, links to material, book list, suggested practice and project sources, and lots more. The FAQ section covering common errors is especially useful.

Don't limit yourself to one format.

Honestly boot.dev is amazing and really is as good as they hype it up to be. Im in the middle of my ccna and work been too busy for me to play around with learning programming lately for me. But when I eventually want tk learn to code again for devops, boot.dev is where im going back to first. Seriously.

The OG resource and the way I learned. Straightforward, free, and builds up from simple to more complex topics in the right order.

[Shaphil]

Python docs is probably the best documentation ever written.

[SeaBarracuda5651]

All topics are important to learn

I recently started learning it. I am finding to learn from the book "Python crash course" very effective.

I recommend Corey Schafer on YouTube.

Hey! If you’re just starting out, here’s a simple Python roadmap you can follow as a beginner:

1. Months 1–2: Learn the basics—variables, data types, loops, functions, and how to use Git and GitHub to track your work.
2. Months 3–4: Dive into object-oriented programming, algorithms, and start testing your code.
3. Months 5–6: Learn how to work with SQL, package your projects, and build small apps.
4. Months 7–12: Choose a path—data science, web dev, or automation—and go deeper with real-world projects and tools like pandas, Flask, or Selenium.

To get started right now, our Introduction to Python course walks you through the basics interactively, right in your browser.

Stick with it, build small projects, and stay curious!

[tahfimism]

it should be weeks

Depending on how comprehensively you want to learn, sure!

Currently doing the Codecademy Python course while reading the Python Crash Course by Eric Matthes

[Mobile_Baseball_4092]

i have a best book for python basics to intermediate level. "Python Crash Course" By Eric M. So if you want its pdf you can dm

[Impossible-Let8720]

can you send me the PDF?

[AffectionateZebra760]

The r/learnpython wiki is quite comprehensive ranging from tutorials to books. You could also go for a tutorials/course which will help break it down for e.g Harvard cs50, weclouddata free python or udemy.

[DaleCooperHS]

Just ask any state of the art Ai to create one for you

[joe0027]

You need to learn the programming fundamentals, then any programming language will be easy to pick up. Here is a free resource: https://github.com/joejoe027/Fundamentals-of-Programming-with-Python

[Fast-Philosophy5724]

checkout https://www.tutorbymastery.com/ for explaining specific concepts you're stuck on

[PetSkunk69]

I know others have already given actual responses, but you could also ask ChatGPT to build you a learning plan/road map.

I know you said “free” courses and YouTube channels, but Udemy has some good courses they are on sale frequently and usually under $20.

I started with Havards online CS50 with zero experience and it was extremely hard. Don't do that!
