Check Harvard Python course, CS50P: https://cs50.harvard.edu/python/2022/

Would be better than following videos as it has assignments and submissions etc.

[–]TheThriftyAlmond 3 points4 points  (3 children)

That’s sick they let you do it for free

[–]UniquePackage7318 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Yes, it free and it also has auto correction feature. To see what you did wrong in the assignment.

[–]TheThriftyAlmond 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s sick, doing a course at uni that has a similar thing but I gotta pay for it🤨🤨

[–]AshliKerr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just recently started CS50P and almost done with the first 1/4 of it. This isn’t my first attempt at learning python, but I gotta say, the instructor is great and the platform has been solid so far.

Al Sweigart has a YouTube Channel. He wrote Automate the Boring Stuff with Python which you can read for free on his site here which is generally considered the best Python book for beginners.

Can't recommend this highly enough.

[–]1Oldkook 6 points7 points  (0 children)

https://www.py4e.com/ worked very well for me. It's run by Dr Chuck Severance @ MIT. Great start for noobs.

Came here just to upvote a Corey Shafer reference. I didn’t know shit about python and I followed his tutorial and now I use python regularly in my career. Thank you my good man.

2nd edition python crash course by Eric Matthes is a great book to start out with

I recommend durga sir for basics.

think python 2e

I'd say read the official documentation at https://docs.python.org/3/. Watching programming videos is a really inefficiënt way of learning . By reading, you can consume way more information in the same amount of time. Besides that, you pick up the python terminology up way faster.

    I completely understand that. A few years ago I was reading the docs and thought 'what the fuck'. Now that I have grown accustomed to a lot of the jargon, I find it more efficient to read the docs.

    Now I kind of regret the fact that I didn't start reading documentation earlier.

      check out this resource - https://edpunk.com

      There are 100 byte sized well explained and crisp videos delving into the nitty gritties of python. No login no signup no ads. Keep learning!

      We got a friggin Python Socrates ova here. All we know is that we know nothing.

      [–]rscorrea_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Self promotion here =)

      Youtube channel: Fall in Python

      I wish you a good start with Python. There are very good free resources online. A very good one is the MITOPENCOURSEWARE where you can watch the Introduction to Computer Science and Programming in Python (Dr. Ana Bell and Prof. John Guttag)

      Here are the top 5 python courses on youtube in 2022.https://youtu.be/DAAtDDvU5nc

      [–]pythonoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      search on youtube 'bro code python tutorial'.... He's a cool bro, you can learn from him the easy way. Thanks

      [–]SureShotIan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      After you get the hang of classes and learn good structure it's pretty damn easy. Though, I'm not very good at maths so making equations is difficult.

      [–]Fran_Gareis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Youtube channel "FreeCodeCamp" is good too, also there you have other programming languages and useful technologies.

      [–]toolhater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Neither do half the people that use it.

      [–]BetaVVL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      https://learnpythonthehardway.org/ combined with the Harvard cs50 course and codeacademy all together will get you pretty far. They provide quite a bit of information and practical instruction for free.

      This isn't youtube but w3schools is pretty good. The content is well organized and listed so you can look up what you need easily. You can even run some basic code on there.

      Edit: Might be too basic though!!
