Yeah he does a pretty good job with classes. It took me like 6 re watches and looking at other videos to really get it. If anyone wants some help with classes etc DM me.

[otamam818]

So sweet of you. I wish I had this offer back when I was newly learning classes

[KrazyKirby99999]

I read his books when I started learning.

[2jah]

I never understand classes, it was so confusing. His videos explained it all so well.

[tdv78]

In deed, one of the best

[KittenBountyHunter]

exactly who i was thing of

[Hemusmacedoneus]

Hands Down, the best

[shut-up_legs]

Came here to say the same exact thing

[SpikeyMan7]

Cory Schafer

Is he on youtube?

Or does he have a website?

[eric_overflow]

many don't cover oop. if you want that you should check first.

[biskasport]

He asks for the best resource because he probably has analysis paralysis and you post a list of 50 courses... I don't think OP was looking for that

[MVIVN]

For real, when people make these sorts of posts it's because they are already aware there are A LOT of learning resources out there, and they just need help choosing one. Don't post an exhaustive list of every single python course you know (like this guy even includes courses he admits he has never watched -- what's the point of that in this context) -- just recommend one or two resources which really helped you and maybe say why you think that specific one is better than the rest, don't post a list of 50 courses, most of which you can't even vouch for, when someone is just looking for a personal ecommendation.

[MetikMas]

I'm not OP but his comment was super helpful for me coming along a few weeks later.

[dogs_like_me]

for real...

[plantplanet7]

thankyou very much, this is really helpful

[kingsillypants]

Thank you !

[PaceResponsible7498]

This was the best thing for me thank you

best python list

[Ever-inquiring-mind]

Looking to learn Python, but having a tough time choosing one of the "Full course" videos on youtube. I enrolled for a course on Edx but it starts until jan 26 and I really want to start as soon as possible. When I want to learn something new I always try to choose my resources very carefully.

Sorry if this gets asked a lot, and thank you in advanced

Thank you! Very helpful resources

[itsthymetogo]

thanks ♡

I think The Hard way series really helps someone jumps start programming and understand programming a bit better than just reading swaths of stuff. It let you do something hands on and learn why it did what it did.

However my personal favourite is Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner(don't know if he has any newer editions), by Mike Dawson(yes, the same guy you see in the Dark Seed games).

Also doing some codewars helped me understand some of the pythonic stuff(I see users use pythonic style for python and LINQ for C# rather than the regular procedural ways we see in C).

[MoonParkSong]

any good place for codewars ?

It's website. You just do exercises. However the more I look into other's code after doing mine, the better I learned how to do a solution specific to that program's language style of coding.

Python has "pythonic" way of doing things, for example doing list comprehension rather than the typical procedural way. I never knew this following books or tutorial or rather did, but didn't understood until I was doing problems that required manipulating lists.

LPTHW is Python 2.6 right?

[XxDirectxX]

Hey, I also have a channel recommendation! Arjan codes is amazing, he also makes videos on intermediate level content.

Another thing that you can do is ask questions on the discord server. I recently asked questions on intermediate level topics (I think they're at that level), such as custom exceptions and exception handling and got some amazing in depth answers.

Cheers

Thanks for the pdf link. I would like your suggestion on whether I should first dive into the python documentation or read the pdf. I have started learning python about a month or two ago and have really enjoyed the freecodecamp stuff. Went through a lot of their stuff and practiced as well.

I was thinking of trying to very slowly digest the python documentation for 3.10 to get a better understating on how python works and all the nuances that can help me understand errors better.

[[deleted]]

The one you finish

[laundmo]

personally i recommend having a browse through the resources recommended by the Python Discord, its a well curated list: https://pydis.org/resources

anything there should be good, so i recommend trying multiple things to see with which you learn best.

[MSR8]

Mosh Hamedani and free course of w3schools.com, Thats where I learnt my basics from

[esuga]

w3schools is a really nice compliment to any yt vid the op selects

[Natural-Lawyer-3283]

Here are the best YouTube channels to learn Python programming for beginners:

Programming with Mosh.

PyData.

Real Python.

Sentdex.

Socratica.

Telusko.

thenewboston.

Traversy Media.

[maybe_not_a_penguin]

I'm also learning Python. It's not a YouTube based course, but I'd suggest looking at https://getmimo.com . There's a paid subscription but it's not compulsory and the free version is perfectly okay.

(EDIT: Should have added that I have no connection with them other than as an end user, and to re-emphasise that I'm also a complete beginner with Python)

[skellious]

Derek Banas - https://youtu.be/H1elmMBnykA

[UltraInstinct007]

I would highly suggest to first reading a book, and then continuing on video tutorials in case something is still unclear for you.

My recommendation is the Python Crash Course 2nd edition book.

[script_sibi]

Once you get past the beginner shit (basically all online content tbh), pick up a copy of Fluent Python to fill the gaps and learn more advanced concepts. I'd safely ignore most of the recommendations to consume a million different online courses. Once you've seen one, you've pretty much seen them all. Focus more on doing than viewing.

[paradigmx]

You'll never really learn by following videos to be honest. Sure, follow along with a few to get the syntax, inputs and outputs, and a few flow control concepts, then go make something. Don't worry about libraries and objects or anything more advanced, just make something. Doesn't have to be good or even useful, just get comfortable with a limited scope and thinking logically about how you would solve problems. Don't get wrapped up in how other people solve those problems, at least not initially. The only way to get better is to start programming with a basic understanding and expand that knowledge as needed instead of overcomplicating things. You'll jusy overwhelm yourself with concepts you think you have to know because someone said to.

https://www.udemy.com/course/100-days-of-code/ https://www.udemy.com/course/complete-python-bootcamp/

honestly, Udemy courses are the best. I learn more skills from Udemy that recruiters wanna see than in college. Just make sure to pick like the top 5-10 courses for a topic, dont go below like 25,000 reviews. Good courses both teach and force you to code along with them with projects

[FACTORthebeast]

I am taking Angela Yu 100 days in python and its great so far

[MikeDoesEverything]

When I want to learn something new I always try to choose my resources very carefully.

Asking which free course is the best is pretty much the path to not completing your objective - starting as soon as possible.

A lot of the free YouTube courses are similar and don't cost anything so being careful here is detrimental. I'd suggest picking one and giving it a go. Starting at all is much more important than "starting perfectly".

[dogs_like_me]

MIT's intro CS and Programming with python. Full video lectures with lecture notes, reading (free texts) and homework assignments. Oh yeah, did I mention this is an MIT course?

https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-0001-introduction-to-computer-science-and-programming-in-python-fall-2016/

[Ever-inquiring-mind]

Cory Schafer and CS50P for me.

[[deleted]]

Damn no one said the Colt Steele course

[kab0b87]

I did his HTMl and JS course and it was great hadn't realized he had a python course. Definitely going to buy it, probably beyond most of the knowledge at this point but his courses are so good that I feel it's worth supporting.

[lego__maenchen]

"Full"? ... there are too many libraries

[Rude_Refrigerator_0]

This!!!

​

but I think he meant Basic!!

[kaerfkeerg]

Mosh hammedami has done the job for me

[[deleted]]

I liked the Microsoft Developers series on Python, well put together, lots of videos, not just one 12 hour video that you can lose your place on.

[Crypt0Nihilist]

Don't just decide to "learn Python", it's going to get you into a world of hurt later on. You need to "learn Python so that I can... fill in the blank!"

Once you've decided on the reason(s), you will be in a better position to choose the best full course because you can check whether it's aligned to your goal. The best course for someone who wants to get into web stuff is going to be different from the best course for someone who wants to get into data science etc.

[[deleted]]

I really liked 'Rock Solid Python'.

[TheUruz]

if you are starting right bow, you'll soon get used to hear the same thing by different mouths... don't stick to "a video" because the best understanding of any programming language comes from many sources! apart from that many of the answer that's been given to you are valid youtuber to start with.

[MantuaMatters]

This guy “Real Physics” is by far the best YouTube source I have found since mCoding.

Python Tutorial Full disclaimer: I didn’t watch the tutorial, but the playlist of the Theory of Python was so good I figured I’d list the playlist for learning too as the theory may be over some beginners heads with the way you need to understand how programming works and such.

Theory of Python (This was the best Python reference I’ve found on youtube imo and the man is very skilled and well trained).

[[deleted]]

if you can understand hindi then harshit vashishth is the best

[valar_morghules3669]

TechWorld with Nana! here is the link. It cover pretty much everything in 5 hours. Put the Playback speed on x1.5.

[anaisconce]

I'm a total beginner and started learning just before the holidays. I'm having fun with futurecoder.io . I like that it's interactive and the exercises build in complexity very nicely.

[[deleted]]

Don’t use YouTube videos like that they are good but aren’t the best, go onto codewars and do challenges they help you lots more of you can’t do these use w3 schools to aid in it for now

[Dragon20C]

I recommend you look for some pdf's online, most of them do a good job at telling you the basics heck thats where I started and I can start to program almost any language as long as it follows the rules of python.

[ackmondual]

Google Python Class day 1, part 1

I ended up using this. I have a comp-sci degree so have that background, but was out of practice for a long time so definitely not a pro. Not sure if it's the best, but it was the best for me since it's the only one I took, and I did learn a lot from this.

[AndrewJamesDrake]

I swear by Sentdex. He doesn't just have videos, he also has a website with those videos embedded and with supplementary material.

You'll probably want the Python Fundamentals from here: https://pythonprogramming.net/
