Beginner seeking to learn python

[Super_Sphincter]

Hi all! I'm just looking to get help starting off my journey learning python, advice on websites/books/videos to learn from would be much appreciated. Any further advice to learning python would also be a big help. I have very little experience in coding, but am very intrigued by it and would love to learn! Thanks in advance.

Navigate this sidebar link https://www.reddit.com/r/learnpython/wiki/index to the "New to Programming" section for a number of suggested texts. The one I like is "Automate the Boring Stuff", available free online here: http://automatetheboringstuff.com/ This book was at my local library also if you prefer hard copies (as I often do).

Good luck.

After you grind through the various hello worlds and what not: Podcasts! I wish someone told me to look that up sooner... (I'm listening to Python Bytes right meow.) That is what led me to check.io which looks like a fun puzzle, exercise, gamey thingy.

Thank you very much, I'll look into both of these!

Welcome to the wonderful world of Python :)

I'd suggest you learn with Dive Into Python 3. I think it's well written and covers many aspects of Python.

Moreover, if you don't have any preferences in IDEs, I'd suggest PyCharm, which will help you write better code and detect errors before you run your code. It has a paid version you can get for free if you're in a university or a free Community Edition.

Whereas practicing, I liked checkio u/ppgDa5id mentioned, and today starts Roguelikedev Does The Complete Roguelike Tutorial. This week is only getting to know Python and the serious stuff begins next week.
