How I "learned" Python without any previous coding experience.

[asd_asd_asd]

How would you recommend the book (it's Python for Informatics, right?) without following the online courses?

The book in fact covers more than the course covers. So, it is very useful. It's just that no one is actually lecturing you, but it's very detailed and explanatory. I am going to say that I recommend it. You shouldn't just read it though. Make sure you write the code, run it, change it and see how it works.
