Sololearn's Python course is a browser-based introduction to Python 3 with short lessons, quizzes, challenges, and a comments section on each lesson. It requires no local setup, so learners can start writing code right away.

Commenters call it an easy way to get started with no environment setup, a good first taste of Python, and a free option that helped them build a foundation.

    Sololearn's free Python course was great for me. They teach Python 3. The comments section through each lesson helps, it's like a virtual classroom where the most helpful comments are upvoted. I finished my Sololearn course about 2 weeks ago, and I was able to fly through most of the w3schools…

    Hello! I started as a junior dev at age 27 after following a similar path. If you are in the US, look into IBM's entry-level and apprenticeship programs. If you are starting from scratch, eg, you don't know what object-oriented programming is, JetBrains has a good, free, 116 hour Kotlin course on…

  4. RecommendsMinimum-Cheetahr/Python2023in “What are your opinions on sololearn to learn Python?”

    I used Sololearn. I did it when it was free and you may get away with free version. It’s good for familiarization to build onto later. I think I did the whole language in 2 days before doing the MIT intro to CS course, which I highly recommend. I tried to do the course before Sololearn but got…

    Easiest way I found to just get started without having to set up a development environment, install an IDE, work with Git, etc. was sololearn.com \- you can code directly in the browser and it was a great first taste of what coding in Python was like without having to spend time setting everything…

    Edx is good if you want to take a course from a business/university. A lot of their courses are free but you have to pay for a certificate if you want one. Udemy has huge sales, Right now they have courses which are like 10-15$ which is probably the lowest you’ll ever get with video courses. But…

    This is a beginner course, but it's supposed to be challenging. People sometimes find it helpful to first go through the SoloLearn Python 3 tutorial to make the starting a bit easier. If after giving the course all you got it's still too difficult, check out Georgia Tech's Computing in Python…
