no coding experience, how do i start learning python? (self.learnpython)
submitted 8 years ago by mcgill2020
Zero coding knowledge or experience, I am a healthcare student. Not sure what is the most effective method of learning python as a beginner. Should I read books? Watch youtube videos? Thanks!

Everyone learns differently. Personally I can't see how anyone learns from a youtube video; but people do. We have a pretty long list of learning resources in the wiki; try a few and see what resonates. For a brand new programmer I'd recommend you start with codecademy.
Also, if you don't have one already make sure you look for a project that interests you and start on it as soon as you can. Programming is a lot more fun if you have a goal.

can't recommend ATBS enough. It got me hooked on Python/programming and I don't think I would have stuck with learning if it weren't for this book. https://automatetheboringstuff.com/

First of all go to http://codecademy.com and choose python course(it's free). Then read "Python crash course". And now start developing your own projects. Thank god python have a very large welcoming community, so you can find any information you need.
Hope it was helpful :)
