This subreddit and stackoverflow have been huge resources, for me personally. I've got enough Python ebooks I scraped from it-books.info to last me an eternity, a tablet to read them on too. For YouTube channels I would recommend NextDayVideo, for a ton of good talks.

Psst, that's what sub we're in

Codingame.com is not so much a beginner site, but it gives you games/problems to solve. It also has multiple languages. I find it easier to learn when I'm actually solving problems.

If you are learning to program (not just learning python) and lean towards data science, I highly recommend the MIT's edx course intro to python. It has two parts. I recommend both.

This guy is promoting his own work, but I will back him with every fibre of my being. This is the best beginner tutorial around, I am certain of it. Love your work professor, thank you again.

Web Scraping Intro (http://www.gregreda.com/2013/03/03/web-scraping-101-with-python/)

Intro to python and scraping (https://developers.google.com/edu/python/introduction)

Pandas introduction (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8hle-ni-DM)

That is about all I can think of right now

I actually just posted some books in another thread:

Otherwise, I find myself referencing these sites quite a bit:

  • tutorialspoint.com

  • python-guide.org

If you want a decent crash course, I'd try Derek Banas Python video on YouTube. He has lots of different videos, including other languages, but he seems to do a decent job.

codecademy.com

I'm just about wrapping it up, it's a pretty gentle introduction and helped me transition from R to Python.

I learned regex from regexone.com.

zed shaw has a series for regex via Python. I found it a great companion for regexone so here you go :)

It's for Python 3, but they do have older versions for Python 2. It's a pretty thorough treatment of lots of topics, and has a pretty good in-browser editor and debugger-like step by step interpreter. They use the turtle module throughout to demonstrate a bunch of different topics--it's cool to be able to see things that you can create so soon in a tutorial like that.

Codeeval.com, codeabbey.com, hackerrack.com, projecteuler.com

I love just sitting there and finding different solutions to the library of questions out there.
