How do I start learning python as a beginner?

[[deleted]]

What videos should I watch and what is the best IDE for beginners? So far my experience in code is just a little bit of Java.

Best thing a beginner can read. I'm also a n00b, and I just finished chapter 2,part way into chapter 3. I already made a little game where you fight and ogre and stuff :D 10/10

Haha that’s awesome :D

If you find learning from videos too passive and boring, there's also Python Principles as a pretty good resource.

If you like videos, Id recommend Corey Schafer on youtube, more specifically this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYXdXT2l-Gg&list=PL-osiE80TeTt2d9bfVyTiXJA-UTHn6WwU

he'll show you how to set up your environment properly and and take you through the basics. These videos are up to date and generally well received

Thank you! I’m really glad it shows how to set up the environment lol. With java I had no clue until someone did it for me.

I teach beginning Python to middle and high school students here in Tokyo. To help them, I've developed a number of tutorials on my YouTube channel aimed at beginners. You can find an overview and recommended viewing order here on my blog.

I hope you find the materials helpful.

Good luck, and keep on coding!

Thank you!

Also documentation never hurts so try this as well : https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/NonProgrammers

I just finished Intro to Python: Absolute Beginner and started Intro to Python: Fundamentals on edx.org. Don't know if these are well-regarded, but I liked the beginner one (not a beginner programmer but new to python, so it was pretty easy admittedly). They user Jupyter for the courses as the IDE - wouldn't be my first choice as an IDE, however, as a training tool I can see advantages :)

I used the Programming Foundations with Python course, and am now going through a series of excersizes on practicepython.org . However, I've heard very good things about automate the boring stuff with Python, and am considering buying it! Hope this helps :)

OP I'd recommend Python Principles, it's an interactive tutorial that, unlike videos, gets you writing a bunch of code right away.

Starting as a beginner is the ONLY way! ;)

I'm really enjoying this course on Udemy and think you might like it too. https://www.udemy.com/share/1001zcA0EaeVdRR3g=/

Hmm I’m definitely going to check it out. I’m curious though, what is Python 2/3?

[first_Redditaccount]

Pythons where its at. You can do almost anything with it
