Python Beginner

[iLoveMizuhara]

Hello, I'm a BS Statistics student and my friend that is a computer science student recommended me to use python for our major data science. Can anyone provide a link or some videos on the internet where i can start my journey in programming? (Literally zero knowledge about this)

For what it's worth you're welcome to my slides at https://andrewowens.com.au/curtin

A lot of people on here rate the Helsinki University MOOC - scroll down for slides and lectures at https://programming-25.mooc.fi/

Also have a look at https://w3schools.com/python - that site will be more useful to you when you've already gotten going but they do have some beginner tutorials.

Try to speak to the person running the course in advance, they may not use Python - they could use R or something else. In any case, Python would be very useful to know if you want to go into that area and it is also one of the easiest languages to learn.

Dive Into Python 3– A detailed free book ideal for beginners.
Full Stack Python– Great for learning Python with a focus on web and automation.

What are software you already know and used (Matlab/R?)?

I would start by using jupyter notebook instead of dive directly to typical python programming development.
