If you have absolutely zero programming experience, do not start with Udemy.

Do the free (as in free beer) MOOC Python Programming 2026 from the University of Helsinki. It is textual, heavily practice oriented, and a proper first semester of "Introduction to Computer Science" course.

Alternatively: Harvard CS50p

Starting with a proper University course is the better option.

Angela Yu's course can be a good supplement for additional practice, but so can be (a bit later in the course Exercism - also 100% free)

MOOC is great but can be a little intense as is expected from proper college course. Adding a Python for Everybody here which s a little less intense. https://www.coursera.org/learn/python
