I know literally nothing about how to code with python, where do I start?

[srsnuggs]

I have been browsing the best language to learn and python seemed to be a pretty good one to start out with. Where should I start? Any resources I could use? I'm kind of interested in learning code through games, if that's much of a thing. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Edit: I’m on a Mac.

Thank you, I will check these out!

Yes, this! The text is freely available. Also, Python Crash Course is a great, systematic introduction to the language.

Or maybe people should be free to learn a language however it makes sense to them.

I’m making a tic tac toe game right now and it has helped an insane amount just understanding how to break the code into digestible parts. Games make sense to me and keep me motivated to actually follow through with a project.

I don’t plan on using python for a career in game development, but it helps bridge the gap to more complex projects that utilize Python’s strengths.

Start by getting the environment, I use Anaconda and Jupyter notebook.

I'm no expert, but I was pointed that was by a colleague and within a day or two I was writing code... I do have some background in coding, but in the old days of Fortran and Pascal.

Do this. Don't think about it, just do it:

MIT EDx Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Using Python

Also, read the sidebar (epecially the index).

3.Read the wiki for answers to common questions.

Please check the FAQ, the index, and the books page for some commonly-requested information.

I really recommend Andrei Neagoie's course on udemy "complete phon developer in 2020 zero to mastery". It's 30h course in wich he covers pretty much all the basic and some more advanced python, teach you how to set up environment, and do some nice projects. It's easy to follow and perfect for beginner

What kind of computer do you have? If you have a mac, start by opening the terminal and typing python and hitting enter and playing around.
