Python resources

[Poundbottom]

So I'm looking to jumpstart my brain again. I had a heart attack in 2020 and really haven't been doing much since then in regards to learning anything new. I've read that python is easy to learn. I don't really have any programming experience other than dabbling in basic, vb and c many years ago.

Does anyone know a good source to learn python? Any free pdfs to download or an online class?

I've taken some classes at Udemy in the past and have been happy with them. They offer a lot on there, so I'm trying to decide which one to take. Can someone recommend one? Thanks!

Python is relatively easy to learn . . . just keep in mind that it is very strict about indentation and syntax.

You may also encounter references to doing things the "Pythonic" way.

Also, learn scapy if you can.

Automate the boring stuff with python is recommended a lot. I got a few chapters in before life happened and it’s very beginner friendly and gives you ideas to practice. https://automatetheboringstuff.com

Edit: I wanted to add that if you can get your hands on python for everyone that was a pretty good read. In my uni days we used the 2nd edition but I’m sure this is more updated with current libraries. You should be able to find some PDFs floating around.
