I was involved with a Python learners group in my city. The courses that seemed to be the best were:<p>- Real Python (my personal favorite, the course is $60) <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;realpython.com&#x2F;products&#x2F;real-python-course&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;realpython.com&#x2F;products&#x2F;real-python-course&#x2F;</a><p>- Automate the Boring Stuff (free) <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;automatetheboringstuff.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;automatetheboringstuff.com&#x2F;</a><p>- Learn Python the Hard Way (the classic goto self study course, $30 book) <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;learnpythonthehardway.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;learnpythonthehardway.org&#x2F;</a><p>We&#x27;ve also experimented with a variety of Moocs from Coursera, but I find the above are the most effective and well rounded courses.

I learned via Udacity&#x27;s course (been using Python at work for 5 years now) but I recommend others to use &quot;Learn Python The Hard Way&quot;<p>For Data Science I&#x27;d recommend DataCamp which ChaseDehan recommended or Panda&#x27;s Documents (especially the cookbook) are very useful. Pandas is 80% of what you need to know to be a king at Data Analysis.

depends on your end objective:<p>I really liked:<p>&gt; Learn Python the Hard Way (the classic goto self study course, $30 book) <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;learnpythonthehardway.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;learnpythonthehardway.org&#x2F;</a><p>But if you are interested in the Data Science pathway, should definitely check out DataCamp.com. Really good content where you code alongside it - and its pretty cheap too.

For basic syntax? Just go do some leetcode problems until it starts to make sense. Every time you don&#x27;t know how to do something just look it up, python has great docs. As for learning it for a first language, probably go with other posters suggestions.

If you’re not already comfortable coding in general I recommend the Udacity intro to programming with python course.

I&#x27;ve really enjoyed Udemy Python courses. Just make sure to use a coupon to get them for like 10 bucks.

Codecademy has a nice set of interactive tutorials - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.codecademy.com&#x2F;learn&#x2F;learn-python" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.codecademy.com&#x2F;learn&#x2F;learn-python</a>
