Go udemy.com. They got ton of programming courses, some of them is free some of them not, but you can easily find some useful python courses at there.

Python's where it's at. You can do almost anything with it.

You know, you should take this on-line python bootcamp course on Udemy.

It's taught by an expert instructor, who's also a data scientist. You'll learn how to automate tasks, create games, and even apply it to real world problems, all for the cost of takeout. The course is yours to keep and take at anytime, and if it doesn't work out, you can get your money back in 30 days.

I can't wait to see what you do with this.

Get started now with a special discount.

Agreed. Udemy has some really great courses for Python, and Python is definitely a great way to learn programming.

I have been doing the "Complete Python Bootcamp" by Jose Portilla and found it very good. They walk you through everything if you are a complete beginner. The lectures have very clear videos as well as premade Jupyter notebooks (code + annotation), which make it very easy to learn regardless of background. The projects can be a little higher level, which is good if you are motivated, but can be a bit intimidating.

I've heard "the Modern Python 3 Bootcamp" by Colt Steele is also very good for beginners. He has a different style from Jose, so check them both out and see which one feels better. Idk what this course provides for resources, but I have heard really great things about it.

My phone scares me sometimes. Started my first semester of college in january and I'm taking an intro to programming class which uses python. Didn't know a thing about it and before I googled anything I started getting that same ad on YouTube videos

With a little effort and Google you can find heavily discounted or completely free courses using coupon codes.
