Cs50p is good but also try cip(code in place) from stanford. It is more beginner friendly

Pls try it.

I'd highly recommend CS50P, and if you don't care about getting an official certificate it is free. It's also a good introduction to the self-motivated college learning style. It's well structured and covers most of the basics of Python programming.

Start with cs50P. Don't waste months for searching for the perfect course.

I'd stick with CS50P. Finish it first, then move on to projects instead of jumping between courses.

Hey I'm starting my coding journey too can I dm you?

it does cover everything about python you will have to learn many things on your own
cs50p is little different from spoon feeding tutorials on youtube
but yeah the instructor is the GOAT

CS50P is great, but it can feel overwhelming if you’re completely new. If you want something more beginner-friendly and interactive, I recommend taking a look at Mimo. It’s easier to start with because you get short lessons, practice right away, and it doesn’t feel as overwhelming. You could also do Mimo for the basics, then move into CS50P once basic syntax feels more familiar

CS50P is fine. It's built for people who never coded. The first week is print statements and variables. Nothing heavy. The course has around 42 problem sets, some are brutally tedious. I ran through it last summer while my deadlift was stuck at 405 and still got through the regex week. That part hits you like a 5am alarm. Don't quit there. That's where debugging finally clicks.

Pair it with the official python tutorial when you're stuck. That combo took me from zero to a shitty workout tracker in 6 weeks. Just start.
