Free Code Camp: https://www.freecodecamp.org/ this place is pretty cool if you follow the main curriculum for HTML/CSS/JAVASCRIPT and go down that route.. but for python, their listings are pretty sub-par.

For now i've been using Codecademy to get the basics down, then I plan on using codeingame, code wars and other similar sites for improving my skills. But the issue with all this is they don't really teach frameworks like django very well or go into a more 'professional' establishment of the skills.

Coding bat is decent-- but it doesn't have as much for python as it does for java. (https://codingbat.com/python)

And I think the best for the late game is 65 Questions (https://www.algoexpert.io/questions) but I can't help but feel like theres a pretty big skill gap going from Codecademy to 65 Questions.

I know that projects are one of the best ways to learn, but I like to have a project alongside training drills. Rn my project is a text based dungeon crawler, but it's pretty complicated and it's going to require a lot of HTML/CSS/Javascript as well, so it's kind of a long term dealio-- so I want some other short term stuff to mix things up a bit.

Any ideas would be appreciated <3

Edit: I don't mean tutorials as much. I know that there are some really good python tutorials like https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/index.html and http://anh.cs.luc.edu/handsonPythonTutorial/index.html but I was hoping for something with a repl and more framework integration like Free Code Camp.

Hello!
I have no background in computer science, data analytic, or coding at all. I've always been interested in learning how to code. A few days ago I began going through the Scientific Computing with Python (Beta) course(?) on freecodecamp website. I finished the first module and I feel like I haven't really learned anything. I can follow the instructions and go through each module/project pretty quickly but at the end of the day it feels like I don't know what I'm actually doing. I'm just following directions without actually knowing what it does or what it means. maybe a lot of the tasks are common sense to someone who is a CS major but I am completely lost. Is there a website or course or book that teaches the fundamentals?

Hi everyone,

I'm thinking of trying freeCodeCamp to learn Python. What I like about it is their "active teaching" style; the short lessons followed by quick questions to reinforce learning. That format helps me stay engaged.

However, after briefly skimming their Python course, I noticed it doesn’t seem to include many (or any?) larger practice exercises beyond the lesson checkpoints. Am I wrong about this? For those who have used it, does freeCodeCamp provide enough practical coding practice to really learn Python well, or is it more just bite-sized theory checks?

If not, could you recommend other platforms that use a similar interactive teaching style but also include more practice problems or small projects? I'm looking for something structured, with frequent checkpoints or quizzes, and lots of hands-on coding.

Thanks!

Hey I am new to coding so I decided to start with Free Code Camp because I've heard nothing but good things about it. For transparency I am trying to learn the Godot engine for making games but was told it would be good to learn Python first to understand the syntax of a language (which I agree with after trying it out).

My question is, should I do the "Legacy Python for Everybody" course, or the "Scientific Computing with Python (Beta) Certification" class? I guess my concern is that while the python for everybody class sounds like it is for me, the "legacy" makes me think it is outdated in some way. Can someone clear this up for me? Thanks!

I started learning Python on my own about a month ago and even did some small projects, a simple calculator, a quiz game and some basic conditional logic programs but I got stuck and felt like I wasn't really learning anything and have been a few weeks without getting back on it.

I want to re-take my journey but I don't quite know how to start, my thought is that maybe I needed a more structured start to then go on off my own to explore the language with a good base established and so I found a 9 hour beginner python course video tutorial from freecodecamp. I would divide it probably in 2 or 3 hours a day and the course goes over a lot of basics and some mini beginner projects, however I don't know if this is the best approach for establishing a good base. Has anyone taken any of these courses and do you have any recommendations to get back at learning Python by myself?

Layout is a little weird. All I see are certificates, other websites have course base on language. Should I come back once I learn Python? I just want to learn Python. I have no specific goal in mind so I feel these certificates are not really useful for me

Hi all,

I started HTML + CSS on FreeCodeCamp long ago, but gave up because I have a full time job and couldn't give time.

I have recently started learning Python on Udemy from Colt Steele. But wanna supplement with some extra exercises and knowledge.

I chose Python because it will help me with some of my personal projects as well as on my job.

I am in need of your assistance here -

• Is the FCC course for Python good?

• The teacher for FreeCodeCamp Python is Dr. Charles Severance, who also has a "Python for Everybody - Specialization" course on Coursera. Is there any difference between the courses on the two platforms?

Thanks

I'm not sure which one to use to learn Python

It seems like this course on freecodecamp isn’t as polished as I thought it would be. Is there better free course available for learning python development with focus on machine learning?
