100_page_python_intro VS full-speed-python

here a copypasta with lot of free info ## Several roadmaps about what to learn to be a successful professional (front, back, sysop, python, etc) https://roadmap.sh/ ## Official Python Beginner's Guide * https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide ## FreeCodeCamp.org * https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/ While main course is about full stack JS dev they also have several GREAT 10hs (or so) video curses in their [YT channel](https://www.youtube.com/c/Freecodecamp/videos) python's playlists: - [Python Basics with Sam](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWKjhJtqVAbkmRvnFmOd4KhDdlK1oIq23) 14 videos - [Full Courses in One Video](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWKjhJtqVAbnupwRFOq9zGOWjdvPRtCmO) 52 videos but they have full courses about lot of things. ## Great channels about python: * [Arjan Codes](https://www.youtube.com/c/ArjanCodes) - Interesting architecture videos * [mCoding with James Murphy](https://www.youtube.com/c/mCodingWithJamesMurphy) - small tips * [Corey Schaefer](https://www.youtube.com/c/Coreyms/) - Basics of python * [Sentdex](https://www.youtube.com/c/sentdex) - Basics and machine learning * [Tech with Tim](https://www.youtube.com/c/TechWithTim/) - Small python projects * [Telusko](https://www.youtube.com/c/Telusko) - Basics in fun way * [Socratcia](https://www.youtube.com/c/Socratica) - Short and interesting videos * [Real python](https://www.youtube.com/c/realpython) * [The new Boston](https://www.youtube.com/user/thenewboston) * [CS Dojo](https://www.youtube.com/c/CSDojo) - Best for OOPS concept * [Clever programmer](https://www.youtube.com/c/CleverProgrammer) - Building things ## RealPython I found this site useful with lot of good tutorials, but they block lot of the material behind payware https://realpython.com/ ## Microsoft YT Channel Microsoft offer three playlist with Python courses - [Python for Beginners](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlrxD0HtieHhS8VzuMCfQD4uJ9yne1mE6) 44 videos - [More Python for Beginners](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlrxD0HtieHiXd-nEby-TMCoUNwhbLUnj) 20 videos - [Even More Python for Beginners: Data Tools](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlrxD0HtieHhHnCUVtR8UHS7eLl33zfJ-) 31 videos ## Udemy courses This course is usually given for free by the author here at begin of month or so (he publish it in /r/learnpython) - https://www.udemy.com/course/automate/ I can't endorse any of those courses since I haven't bought them, but their content look complete - https://www.udemy.com/course/complete-python-bootcamp/ - https://www.udemy.com/course/learn-python-by-building-a-blockchain-cryptocurrency/ - https://www.udemy.com/course/python-the-complete-python-developer-course/ - https://www.udemy.com/course/complete-python-bootcamp/ - https://www.udemy.com/course/100-days-of-code/ - https://www.udemy.com/course/learn-python-by-building-a-blockchain-cryptocurrency/ this serie of courses - https://www.udemy.com/course/python-3-deep-dive-part-1/ - https://www.udemy.com/course/python-3-deep-dive-part-2/ - https://www.udemy.com/course/python-3-deep-dive-part-3/ - https://www.udemy.com/course/python-3-deep-dive-part-4/ Also remember only buy in Udemy when the courses are between 9/12usd values and not at their full price (90/250) that are inflated prices... ## Exercises and practices: * https://www.practicepython.org/ * [Exercism](https://exercism.org/tracks/python/exercises) * [Practicepython](https://www.practicepython.org/) — these are all beginner friendly and difficulty levels are marked * [100 Page Python Intro exercises](https://github.com/learnbyexample/100_page_python_intro/blob/main/exercises/Exercises.md) — exercises from my introductory guide * [Code Wars](https://www.codewars.com/), [Advent of Code](https://adventofcode.com/), [Project Euler](https://projecteuler.net/) — more challenging * [Checkio](https://py.checkio.org/) * [Codingame](https://www.codingame.com/start) * [Codecombat](https://codecombat.com/) — gaming based challenges * [/r/dailyprogrammer](https://www.reddit.com/r/dailyprogrammer) — not active currently, but there's plenty of past challenges with discussions ------ [original source](https://redd.it/pwvi0t) Not sure if many people know this, but Microsoft has a learning resource platform called [Microsoft Learn](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/), which provides free training to learn different skills related to different technologies. Each course is designed as a module, in each module, it contains different lessons and exercises. Thought I'd share.

100 Page Python Intro — my short, introductory guide

Thanks for adding them.

I have a short introductory guide for those already familiar with programming basics, should work for your case too: https://learnbyexample.github.io/100_page_python_intro/

I also have a short, introductory guide here: 100 Page Python Intro

I have short, introductory guide titled 100 Page Python Intro — I conduct workshops for those already familiar with programming basics from another language, so I wrote this guide. Might help you and it is free to read online

100 Page Python Intro - my own introductory guide for those already familiar with programming basics (or coming back to Python like your case)

The https://github.com/learnbyexample/100_page_python_intro repo has program/example files, markdown source and other details about the book.

All the Python programs discussed in this book, along with related text files, can be accessed from my GitHub repo learnbyexample: 100_page_python_intro. However, I highly recommend typing the programs manually by yourself.

If you're learning Python, and know other programming languages, I have this online ebook [1] that I use with my students so that they learn Python fast enough so that I can teach them about socket programming.

Basically, in each chapter I give a small detailed introduction to the topic and then students do some exercises to solidify things.

SEEKING FREELANCE WORK

I'm available for Python and Django freelance work, if it's interesting enough. I've 10+ years of professional experience working with that stack. You can check some of my projects at [1] and look at some of my code at [2] and [3].

I'm also a part-time CS Professor (I have a CS PhD - AI - TextMining), so I'm also available for tutoring students 1-1 (or small groups). Topics can include anything from CS curricula, but I have lots of experience introducing people to programming (I have a Python ebook with exercises - fullspeedpython [4]), and building web apps either in Python or Java (intro to programming, databases, networking, html+css, webframeworks, webservices => web apps). If you're new to CS and programming and you're self-learning, I can help you navigate what's important, what's irrelevant and provide you with some guidance.

Giving that I see thousands and thousands of code every semester, I'm also available for doing code reviews or helping with best practices for individuals and teams.

My current rate is 80€-100€/hour.

I’m in the initial phase of structuring a book that aims to teach some simple algorithms and data structures using Python. The idea is that the reader should do the (guided) exercises to learn how to build those data structures. It’s basically “learn by doing”.

For instance, to teach what a stack is I’ll explain the basic idea of a stack, then provide a base class and the reader must implement each method (init, push, pop, peek, etc) given the requirements and intended results of each functionality.

I have a learn by doing ebook about Python (https://github.com/joaoventura/full-speed-python), so it’s like a follow-up to that one. Don’t know if people are interested though..

Cool list! @pamoroso, if you read this comment, I've submitted an issue on the repo to add my own ebook (full-speed python).

If someone stumbles on this on HN, here's the link to the repo [1] and releases [2]. It's basically a simple ebook where each chapter shows a little bit of what you can do with something (numbers, strings, lists, dicts, modules, etc.) and then the reader solves the asked exercises. I use this for my students who already know how to program (BSc and MSc) to get up to speed with Python, so that we can go learn sockets, http protocols, web frameworks, etc..
