[PYTHON] Online exercises for beginners
Where to start learning Python?
You'll get a million different answers - people will suggest what they've used, and what works for different people is always different.
Ultimately, any "intro to python" type course will be fine.
The "Zero to Mastery" Udemy series looks good, but understand that you won't get anywhere near advanced within a month or two. It takes months/years to get to intermediate, and years beyond that to become an "advanced".
With that in mind, go into it without a sense of urgency and take your time to learn and understand concepts.
It doesn't matter if you don't understand things the first, second, or even fifth time you go over them. That's totally normal - programming is difficult. What matters are two things - consistency, and dedication. 30 minutes a day for one year will take you a lot closer to employ-ability than 6 hours every day for 2 months. Don't burn out. Take things at your own pace.
I'll plug the book that I made my first real breakthrough learning to code with - "Python for Everybody". The author breaks things down in a very easy to understand and enjoyable manner. Here is a link to the free PDF - spend a few hours going over it and see if you enjoy the learning style.
If not, another highly recommended resource is Automate the Boring Stuff with Python - If you scroll down on the page you'll find that the author has links to a free web-based version of all the chapters in the book for free.
Another user has recommended Corey Schaferโs YouTube tutorials - another excellent, free resource.
Any one of these three is sufficient to start learning.

I'm taking an intro to python course through a university in Canada and finding I need some places to practice coding so I can put what I'm learning into use. It isn't sticking and I've been reading that you need to practice it to really understand it, which makes complete sense to me. Right now I want to hit my head on a wall and walk away because I feel like I'm lost.
Our professor recommended CodingBat but I'm wondering if there are any other resources out there where there are exercises and they show you the results so you can learn how to solve problems?
Any recommendations are appreciated, thank you
