Hi, I've decided to learn python. Previously, I've been working in a completely different sphere. I know that this topic was described here several times, but most of the them are quite old and I just want to know which course are cosidered the best and what should I choose. I've already started beginner free course on youtube, but it's not very long and is quite simple even for a complete noob. Thank you!

Hi. I am a complete newbie to this field. I have zero programing experience. But I want to learn Python. Is Udemy's Python: zero to mastery course a good place to start. Or please recommend where and how to start learning Python.

Hello guys,

so I was thinking about aquiring a new skill as I will have plenty of time from summer on. To me I am a medical student so there is no background or whatsoever to coding/programming or anything.

I dont know why but I feel like learning a programming language and python crossed my mind, there is no higher intention of getting a full on job as a programmer, but being realistic is it possible to learn this from scratch with no pre experience? Putting dedicated time for an extended period of time would not be of any problem.

Thanks for any help!!

Edit: Thanks for all the responses and help. I will for sure look into all of it once I start. Keep the positivity up! :))

I am from non technical background, I have no prior idea of any coding language or anything like that. My objective is to become employable. From where should I start and which free resources I can use ?

What is the best way to learn python for free? I have next to zero knowledge of coding (played around with scratch and that stuff but that prob doesnt even really count).

Hey guys, This has probably been asked a lot but I want and have to learn python and I would love to hear recommendations from people where to start ( websites, etc.) I know I could Google this but I like to communicate and interact with people :P Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone ! I am a 22 year old girl who is planning to start her graduate degree. Most of my undergraduate degree was highly theoretical with more qualitative focus but I am planning to pursue a more interdisciplinary graduate degree in Cognitive Neuroscience or Cognitive Science. There are professors willing to take me under their wing, but they need me to build up my skills in some programming languages, so I can take care of myself when it comes to data analysis and processing.

My aim by the end of this year is to become able to handle light coding, even referring to resources is alright as long as I can do independent research. I didn’t grow up in a teach heavy environment- just a very small town with my parents, neither of whom are into any tech stuff. I only started using my own laptop and even mobile phone at a later age than my friends and peers. So I would say I am not very tech- oriented.

If possible, I would be more comfortable with reading material than YouTube videos to be honest. I find videos to be too noisy and distracting to actually learn. I have a better time interacting with reading materials than videos and tutorials.

Thank you for reading this 🫶

Update: Thank you for all your input, I have been reading everything carefully and trying to start things little by little ☺️

hey, so i'm trying to learn python and i’m a bit confused on where to actually start. there’s like a million tutorials and courses everywhere and i don’t really know which ones are actually good. also how do you guys stay consistent and not just give up halfway lol. any tips or stuff that helped you would be awesome.

Hello guys, I have zero experience in programming and I've been watching some videos to learn python. I came across the word tutorial hell, and how noobs like me fall into it and give up programming. Since you guys are already experienced in coding how would you suggest I should learn python the correct way.

Thank you.

I am new and know absolutely nothing about python except its name. What is -in your opinion- the most efficient way to learn it?

I have no prior programming experience and was looking to use the codecadamy course but I just realised it isn't free. What the next best thing? any tips on learning a new language for the first time? Is a online course the best way to learn a new language and if so what is the best platform to do so?

I heard codecademy was a good place, but after teaching me how to do hello world, it was pay blocked. I was pay blocked in only 5 minutes into the tutorial.

codecademy was the place i heard about that was free. I'm not sure if this is a recent change or maybe python was never free. I got about 30 minutes into C++ but from the little that i worked on ren'py, i liked python more.

So it leads back to my topic title, is there are place that teaches Python for free or at least 1 time payment. I want to take it at my own pace and fear subscription services.

edit: saw another thread where this guy posted this link for python courses. $20 for learning python in 60 days. I'm seeing people say udemy is good. Would you guys recommend? a coupon code seems to be attached with the link already too. https://www.udemy.com/course/the-python-mega-course/?couponCode=LEADERSALE24B

I did try YT and search for people teaching python, but there's so many people doing it, is there one specific channel / guide you guys would recommend if not taking an online course?

EDIT AGAIN: So after spending a few hours trying out Python vs GDScript. I'm going to be going with GD script. I'm loving how it works just slightly better then Python, but both are good. What won me over was that I had already planned on using Gadot as the first game engine i would try. So it only made sense to use the language that is native to that engine. So thank you everyone for your suggestions, but I know what i want to do now.

i tried a lot to start learning python and was never successful i just need advise over where to start but its nessesery that its free pl if possible

Update: thank you all for all advices and suggestions read them all already and I actually started a certain course from one of your recommendation so I really appreciate all your answers to this post

Hello everyone.Hope you are all well.

I am currently taking on the task to learn python from scratch.I would say I am pretty familiar with certain concepts like if statements, loops etc.

I have dabbled in bash scripting.However totally new to python, or any high level languages for that matter.

I realized that I learn best when I am actually working on something, wether it is a small script or a little project, rather than just studying theoretical concepts. That way I can actualize the concept and have place to return to when I forget.

If anyone of you here has gone down this path and I would appreciate any suggestions or recourses that might be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Guys I am a 16 year old and want to learn python and there are too many resources available. I dont know how to make projects, where to save them how to make them user friendly. I dont have a prior coding knowledge. I also don't understand git and github. How do I search projects in github. It would be beneficial to know about any free apps to teach me coding, any good youtube channels that provide a crash course and if anyone can give a road map like how should i go aboute it.. Also how do people save their projects on websites? Thankyou. I am learning python because I want to learn AI..coders please shower some knowledge upon me

Hello, I am looking for some advice on learning Python. I was recently laid off from my job and i am looking to learn some new skills to become more marketable. I had foolishly paid for a KodeKloud subscription to learn SRE/Devops and found that it did a very poor job of explaining things to the point i was constantly using the "hint" feature, and not really learning anything. I then attempted CodeFinity only to realize even if you run the code improperly you can still "complete" the tasks, meaning I could very well be learning the "wrong python"

I am getting quite short on capital, but I am still very much interested in learning python. Are there any youtube tutorials, or anything like that i can follow along?

Hi, I am new to programming. I want to learn programming for the career opportunities and because I started to get interested in it. I have a lot of free time and I can dedicate like 6 hours a day to learn. I read the "New? READ ME FIRST" and I see that many recommend the "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python". I also see that someone recommends to start with Python's official tutorial on their website but I hear that the tutorial there is for someone who already knows some programming. What do you recommend between the two?

Also along side that should I use "freecodecamp"? I heard that some learned to code only using that and also they give certification and have a curriculum to follow so it would be easier. Do you recommend this or do you have other preferences like "codecademy"?

Any additional advice or recommendation would be welcome. Thanks!
