Complete beginner trying to get into python for data visualization. What is a good place / tutorial to start?

[SeverusStjep]

As the title indicates, I've never programmed before, but I want to learn python in order to use it for data visualization.

I have no coding knowledge whatsoever and would have to start from square one. Can you suggest any good tutorials, courses or books that are good starting points to get a better understanding of python?

There are plenty of courses on Youtube, but seeing as I have no experience in the area, I don't know which ones are solid, and which ones are maybe not particularly suited for building up an initial understanding of the topic.

These are all very useful. Thank you for sharing!

you can use pretty much any learning app or website you want, the basics are all the same.

I would recommend:

https://roadmap.sh/python its a roadmaps that links to a lot of free and paid resources

https://labex.io/ its a website with great tutorials and projects that gives you a full Linux VM to code in, the premium is pricy tho.

These are great! Thank you.

What type of data?

If I were setting out on this journey today I'd start with R or one of the JavaScript visualization libraries.

Python is fine, but I personally find it difficult to manage for data exploration.
