I recommend learning programming concepts, agnostic of any specific language, and then learning python. Off the top of my head, here is a basic list for starters:
1. Constants
2. Variables
3. Data Types
4. Functions
5. Basic I/O (e.g. accepting data input from an input box)
6. If/then/else statements
7. Syntax (specific to a language, I know, but useful to realize that each language has its own nuances)
8. Looping
9. Arrays
10. How to access/call the language’s libraries
11. Built-in functions
12. Programming structures- methods, objects, subroutines, etc.
This is just a starting list, but hopefully helpful.
Start with codecademy for the basics, then look for projects and such to build actual skills
I like datacamp.com as well
Third datacamp. Kaggle for datasets to perform EDA (exploratory data analysis) and also modeling!
I recently bought a book called “python crash course, a hands on, project based introduction”. Obviously you start with basics and build upon it as you go through the book
Data camp
Google has their 3-day training up for free too. Good resource but focused on general programming skills.
"Learn Python the Hard Way" is also good, it'll weed you out if you're not serious
12 years of coding experience here. Best way to learn imho is to read and modify others’ code. Find a project you want to do, then practice using google/stack overflow to help you figure out each chunk. You’ll stumble onto enough code snippets to help you get started.
Introduction to computer science and programming using python - a MOOC on EDX from MIT. The best python course I've seen so far.
P1 - very - I’ve programmed quite a bit in the past and am getting back into it. Thanks for the refresher
P1- that is the best recommendation anyone could give. You’re lost from day one if you don’t understand the basic concepts and terms
Check out udemy. They often have sales and offer courses for $10. I’ve taken a couple of them for various languages and I’ve only had great experiences
