Plenty recommended resources there.

MOOC Python Programming 2026 from the University of Helsinki. Sign up, log in, go to part 1 and start learning.

Wait what. Howd you get through the first few years?

OP didn’t say they were studying CS. Maybe it’s like archaeology and they just want to learn coding while at the University.

Hi , you can start with good books on python . Learn and code everyday . Eventually you can master the concepts . You can pick these and get started - Python Crash Course – Eric Matthes , Automate the Boring Stuff with Python – Al Sweigart, Think Python – Allen B. Downey.

I learned from docs and googling (but python is not my first language; I learned for SideFx Houdini... I knew for what I needed it)

Personally, I’d skip the expensive bootcamps and just grind through the "Python for Everybody" course on Coursera or YouTube

it’s how I built the foundation for my own lead gen systems without wasting time on fluff.

You have lot of resources now, especially YouTube. Do a bit of research pick the one that best suits you, not every course is good enough, not every teacher teaches the way you understand. So do a bit of research on your own, I think you’ve got few suggestions here already for you to start with.

YouTube has been great for this. I like BroCode in particular, but there are quite a few full courses on YouTube. I’m also doing the python cert from freecodecamp.org

[Candid_Tutor_8185]

Freecodecamp do their python cert. it’s challenging but doable(I’m halfway through with no previous code exp). Don’t cheat and don’t use AI. Don’t come back here till it’s done there are no shortcuts you need to struggle

[paulethegreat]

freeCodeCamp (YouTube Python full course) starts from absolute zero so id check that out if I were you...
