I used Learn to Code with Python by Boris Paskhaver. It covers all of the basics and much, much, more including advanced stuff like unit tests, mock tests, test driven devleopment, virtual environments, all of the object oriented aspects of the language, etc. It even includes two full projects. One is a simlified poker simulation that starts from scratch and uses test driven development to build the program and the other is an example of using the Scrapy library to build a web scraper. The poker project is about 13 hours and the web scraper project is around an hour and a half because it's much simpler and much of it is built using the Scrapy library rather than building everything from scratch.

The entire course is nearly 60 hours of bite-sized videos, usually under 10 minutes but occasionally 15 or 30, that explain everything in detail. Boris is a really excellent teacher that not only knows the language well but can actually communicate what he knows in a clear manner.

The best part is, the whole thing only costs $20. It's a really good deal.

50+ hours of examples from the ground up. Covers what you would want to know and more. Having some experience writing python scripts at work and mainly learning by error, online documentation, and going through other tutorial type videos, this is the only one I recommend to others now.

Definitely worth more than $50 in my eyes. Found it free on this subreddit not too long ago. Keep in mind a project or two inorder to fully cement the lessons learned here.

i.e if you want to do webdev back end work, Django/flask are python frameworks that this course would help with the foundational knowledge.

This course is currently free on Udemy, looks highly rated, I've yet to look at it though. https://www.udemy.com/course/learn-to-code-with-python/ here's the coupon if required. 48C956B7705BC548FCC5

Nope not too late, and I do think python is a great starter language, but I do wonder if it is the best in the long run for doing remote work... but you can use it for building web sites,

This is one of my favorite, but as many have said there are many free python starter courses on youtube, you can find some under freecodecamp or Mosh,

I'm not the most qualified but I'll share some thoughts. I would say find a really good course or two on python - there are so many and everyone has the preferences (and opinions) I'm going to recommend this one -> https://www.udemy.com/course/learn-to-code-with-python/ It is very complete in terms of topics covered.

Then do lots of projects. Here is a list of projects (the first one [Martyr2] is very good) https://old.reddit.com/r/learnprogramming/comments/2a9ygh/1000_beginner_programming_projects_xpost/

Here is another list of projects -> https://old.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/5waim7/python_competitiontasksprojects/

Another thread with useful information -> https://old.reddit.com/r/learnpython/comments/dob4kd/for_begginers_who_are_searching_for_what_to_do/

So to answer the question. Have a lesson plan (like if you were teaching the class) of what topics you are learning each week and which project you will complete each week and take it day by day to avoid burnout.

edit: upload the projects to gihub/gitlab to showcase your learning and skills

Goodluck!
