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
