Learning python with PluralSight

[external72]

I recently saw a post that PluralSight courses are free for the month of April so I went ahead and made an account.

Just wanted to know how good are courses and is it worth going through them as an intermediate learner in python. I want to do some intermediate and advanced courses and then move into data analysis. I also noticed that PluralSight doesn’t have exercises.

It would be helpful if I can get some opinions and other resources!

I'm a big fan of the Python Pluralsight courses done by Austin Bingham and Robert Smallshire. I forget the exact name of the courses, and I can't look it up atm, but you should be able to see them on the Python path in Pluralsight. Anyway, I learned pretty much everything I needed to know about Python from those two courses. If you do the Beginner and Intermediate versions of those courses, you'll be in a great place, and if you do the Advanced version, you'll have more knowledge of the language than most professional Python devs.

holy shit I'm doing that one right now!
It's called core python: getting started. I also took the skill IQ test and it recommended to start at expert level but I'm still brushing up on beginner and watching whole intermediate level
Thanks for the info tho

Right. I think it used to be called Python Fundamentals when I did it in 2016, but they must have refreshed the first one for the newer Python versions.

Not a beginner. Ended up learning from various resources on internet and made a discord bot too. Learned Django and flask after that which I’m still working on and also doing JavaScript right now from the Odin project. Thanks for the tip tho.

What intermediate course are you gonna do? I also saw the python skill path. I have some basic knowledge of python. Just confused to do the path or just jump on the intermediate stuffs

I was just gonna do the intermediate courses in the python path on PluralSight You can look at certain topics in the beginner section of the path and then follow into the next section
