A long Udemy video course by Colt Steele that teaches Python 3 from the basics through more advanced topics, with many exercises and projects along the way. Commenters describe it as roughly 30+ hours of content.

Commenters call it well constructed, taught by an instructor who explains things very well, and packed with exercises, which makes it a good fit for absolute beginners.

    hey man, also a mechanical engineer here that just started learning coding a couple of months ago. With 0 coding background I started out with the 'Modern Python 3 Bootcamp' course on udemy by Colt Steele. It's an awesome course taught by an amazing instructor, Colt really teaches every…

    I would highly recommend "The modern Python3 Bootcamp" course on Udemy. It is pretty long (30+ hours) but well constructed. It didn't leave any blank spaces in my mind which is what one would expect from an online course. I heard "Automating the boring stuff using Python programming" Udemy course…

    I'd recommend Colt Steele's Modern Python 3 course. Then I would do Angela Yu's 100 days of code course. Some people just do Angela Yu's course straight away, but I think she does a poor job teaching and reinforcing the basics of Python for absolute beginners, whereas Colt Steele's course really…

    Try Python Crash Course by Eric Matthes if you prefer books otherwise. Colt Steel’s Course(The modern Python 3 bootcamp) Is chock full of exercises and videos.

    Python is a great language to start with as it is relatively simple but very useful. I’ve been learning quite a bit over the last couple months. I’ve tried free resources but honestly the best I’ve found is: https://www.udemy.com/course/the-modern-python3-bootcamp/ Shows as $13 right now which is…

    I started with both of those books too! For me they were both fine in the beginning, but as they progressed from the basics to more advanced topics I eventually got stuck. Since I was self-teaching and didn’t have someone to help me, I eventually had to put the books down. I subsequently purchased…

    Cut your deadline in half. Theres so many good resources to learn python. Udemy has some great courses you can hunker down and learn with. I found this one to be great, and it's about 30ish hours. https://www.udemy.com/course/the-modern-python3-bootcamp/

    So the terminal works different based on your operating system. I couldn’t tell you much about windows but I know that you’d use power shell if you do For Mac and Linux you can open up the terminal and use the cd (change directory) command to navigate your files If you type ls, you can list the…

    Hey buddy,   **"Can I do this?"** Listen, I have a degree in Political Science. I failed precalculus TWICE before finally passing with (drum roll please) a D! I might have an idea of where you're coming from. Any college-educated person can learn the functional basics of programming. I…
