Good evening, everyone. I have, but one quick inquiry. What are the best resources in your opinion to learn python by yourself as a complete beginner? Thank you all

I learned python by finding something I wanted to make, then referencing the documentation to learn things I didn’t already know.

If I had trouble with finding it in the docs or understanding, I would just YouTube it/ duckduckgo it until I found a video that made sense.

I just did that over an over again and now about 30% of my day job is writing python.

Highly recommended Automate the Boring Stuff. It’d a free tutorial on YouTube and you learn things like printing, using numbers, then opening files and manipulating data. It’s useful straight away.

Certainly not the best, but codecademy is decent. After that, it should be enough for you to learn more deeply from official Python documentation, actual Python code base (from OSS repositories), and specific subjects from blog articles.

But it will highly depend on what type of content you like. For example some people may prefer books over interactive courses. If this is your case, i think this one is recognized as a very good one: https://learnpythonthehardway.org/python3/

https://exercism.org/tracks/python is a good one. You can get a mentor to review and ask questions to.
