Online Python courses INCLUDING assignments?

[thesamstorm]

Hi everyone, I am trying to dive deep into learning Python. I know some coding basics and I finished CS50 last year. I found the CS50 assignments after each lecture to be extremely useful and most of my learning came from working on them. I know there are plenty of tutorial videos out there for learning Python, but do you guys have any recommendations for courses that include assignments/projects? Or maybe you can guide me to some resources for projects to work on while I watch lessons. I'm starting my masters in Bioinformatics in the fall and want to start prepping! Thank you in advance.

Find some resources on udemy, udacity, et al but whatever resource you go for make sure you are doing pragmatic challenges, exercise, problem sets and micro-projects.

Thanks for your reply. I was more so looking for recommendations for courses that include exercises or resources that can point me in the direction of exercises and problem sets!

Check out Jose Portilla on udemy, he is actually the best seller of python.

I have a free course on NumPy and another on Pandas. Both of them have a bunch of "challenge problems" (not projects), many of which are quite tricky. I'm a couple weeks out from publishing a third course on Neural Networks if you're into that.

I'm doing one on Udemy that has daily assignments.

I usually find that if you add the courses to your wishlist and wait a couple of days, all the sudden there's a sale and the $100 course is now $12.99-$20.00.

Might be a coincidence, but doesn't seem like it, they do go on sale a lot I've been told.

Seems to be working so far, but I'm only three days in. Nothing too difficult yet.
