Check that link once a week until the price drops to <$20.

I took this course and was super impressed.

I liked the pace and style of Colt Steele's (yes that's really his name!) course on Udemy. He's put a lot of time into the exercises too and they work within Udemy's site and check whether your solution is correct. link

Learn enough python to get you started, but don't focus on learning Python itself as an end game. Try to widen your learning to approaches to problem solving too - there are lots of videos on youtube, or a number of books on computational thinking, algorithms etc. This will help you learn how to break down a larger problem into something you can them implement in Python.

Think of it like learning how to make a chair from a block of wood. Python may be your tool kit (saw, hammer, nails, chisel etc), but you also need to know what parts you need to make and build together to make the chair.

A lot of people will point you toward the 'Automate the Boring Stuff in Python' course, but it didn't work for me at all.

Coding Buddy

Hi, I'm looking for a coding buddy to go through a course with. I have bought a few from Udemy, not sure if it was the best site to use but 10 bucks you can't beat that. Anyway, I am medical retired from the Army and looking to learn programming with someone or a group of ppl. I'm in CST. discord name AOFA Troublsum(SSG)#0917 (HTML,CSS,Javascript, Python) List of the course I got.

I figured, I’m probably going to leave SQL for after capstone. Not looking forward to it at all. Any specific advice on how to tackle Discrete 2 and data structures 2? I’m learning python right now through colt steele’s udemy course.

https://www.udemy.com/course/the-modern-python3-bootcamp/

I can highly recommend Colt Steele's Udemy course on python. LINK! Especially if you have 0 understanding of programming. A good starting point, but that is just it, a starting point.

Well you are on the right track my friend, welcome to the programming world! I started last year and I was nervous as well, I still am haha. But the good news is, its get better. I saw a bunch of people recommend automate the boring stuff with python, absolutely a great place to start. That's where I started! From there I did the Python crash course, which someone else recommended as well. Both are great books and give you some good projects to practice your skills.

Recently I started Colt Steeles Modern Python Bootcamp, https://www.udemy.com/course/the-modern-python3-bootcamp/

This is a paid course, just an FYI. But colt is one of my favorite online instructors. His teaching style is great and he doesnt make it to serious. He has a bunch of great tutorials on other languages.

I wish you luck on your journey! Remember, everything will be okay, just have to believe in yourself. It's okay to be stuck, you can look it up!

My 2 cents.

If you're interested in learning to code and you decide to use Python for your journey, try "The Modern Python 3 Bootcamp by Colt Steele" on Udemy.

https://www.udemy.com/course/the-modern-python3-bootcamp/

Udemy has deals all the time.

I'm just more than halfway through this course and I can tell you I've learned a ton.

If you're brand new to Python, Colt Steel's Python 3 Bootcamp is a really good introduction.

If you're wanting to use Python for backend webdev, then once you know the basics of python, you'll want to pick a framework to learn and start building projects (I recommend Django but Flask is also popular)

This one? https://www.udemy.com/course/the-modern-python3-bootcamp/

Is this the course? https://www.udemy.com/course/the-modern-python3-bootcamp/

Python is a great language to start with as it is relatively simple but very useful. I’ve been learning quite a bit over the last couple months. I’ve tried free resources but honestly the best I’ve found is:

https://www.udemy.com/course/the-modern-python3-bootcamp/

Shows as $13 right now which is totally worth it. The guy explains things very well and there is a ton of content. With Udemy it is useful to be able to download the content to mobile so I can watch on the go when I can’t code.

Learned python using the The Modern Python 3 Bootcamp. https://www.udemy.com/course/the-modern-python3-bootcamp/ Really thorough, with great videos, exercises and quizzes. It is not free but you get a lot of bang for your buck.

Recomendo muito esse pra Python pra quem for leigo: https://www.udemy.com/course/the-modern-python3-bootcamp/

Primeiro curso bem estruturado que fiz de programação foi o CS50 de Harvard, que pra mim é pesado pra quem tem pouca noção mas ainda é viável. É interessante que te faz se virar bastante nos projetos.

A link to the course The Modern Python 3 Bootcamp

https://www.udemy.com/course/the-modern-python3-bootcamp/ This was the udemy course I took for Python. I got no complaints and only positive things to say about it

or this one both are free https://www.udemy.com/course/the-modern-python3-bootcamp/

I did Colt Steele's Python "bootcamp" as my first-ever introduction to the world of computers and programming. He first teaches how to install and use the things you'll need, then slowly explains programming piece by piece with short lectures and exercises. I completed half of it before jumping into MITs 6.00.1x and referenced the notes I took through the entirety of MIT's class. I feel like Colt gives you the building blocks to start cobbling together code confidently.

I honestly can't recommend Colt Steele's Python course enough, it really worked for me.

EDIT- link: https://www.udemy.com/course/the-modern-python3-bootcamp/

https://www.udemy.com/course/the-modern-python3-bootcamp/ best $10 you'll ever spend.

Cut your deadline in half. Theres so many good resources to learn python. Udemy has some great courses you can hunker down and learn with. I found this one to be great, and it's about 30ish hours.

https://www.udemy.com/course/the-modern-python3-bootcamp/

The Network+ might be more affordable to you then. As for training material, YouTube is your friend.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxbwE86jKRgMpuZuLBivzlM8s2Dk5lXBQ

In regards to languages, I would recommend Python. It's too easy to become lost in all the huge JavaScript frameworks, and most courses try to cover the full stack - whereas what you probably need is just a course which covers less breadth and more depth. Colt Steele's course is highly regarded and can be picked up with 90% off. https://www.udemy.com/course/the-modern-python3-bootcamp/

I did this as my first - and it was really good

https://www.udemy.com/course/the-modern-python3-bootcamp/learn/lecture/7991094?start=0#overview

Not completely free - but on Udemy sale it can be quite cheap. So not really expensive considering it's 30+ hrs.

Youtube - Corey Schafer is really good.

Well you're in luck. There's a course on Udemy which is almost free until Jan 9th called "The Modern Python 3 Bootcamp". I'm doing this course right now and just dropped by this sub looking for some info on SQL databases when I ran into your post. Take a look:

https://www.udemy.com/course/the-modern-python3-bootcamp/

I can't recommend this one enough. I'm at the last section of it can it cost me just $5, which is almost nothing for a 30-hour course. If you aren't willing to pay such a low fee, then I don't know. Give it a try.

After this course you should pick up some of the classic books on Python to review concepts and refine your skills.

Penso que o núcleo de informática e eletro tem workshops frequentes sobre várias linguagens de programação, podes estar atento às páginas nas redes sociais. Se tiveres colegas em informática, pede-lhes slides ou recursos do primeiro semestre do 1ºano (se fosse um ano normal diria para ir a aulas nos auditórios, mas como são online devem ser mais reguladas).

&#x200B;

Se procurares algo online tens por exemplo https://www.udemy.com/course/the-modern-python3-bootcamp/. É algo mais estruturado e bem lecionado.

&#x200B;

Se preferes algo grátis tens imensos vídeos no youtube. Python é uma linguagem muito fácil de aprender. Não tem muitas nuances ou coisas específicas (pelo menos numa primeira abordagem). Contudo podes fazer muitas coisas com ela de forma relativamente intuitiva, desde web scraping, a aplicação de matemática, como estatística e cálculos numéricos (esta parte também podes pesquisar no youtube ou em documentos online, mas para coisas mais aprofundadas tens de filtrar melhor). Ou então pequenos exercícios de algoritmos que encontras em sites como project euler, etc. Depois de perceberes os blocos principais da linguagem (fors, ifs etc, que provavelmente já tens noção), acaba quase por ser quase escrever em inglês num IDE.

&#x200B;

Boa sorte!!

Could really use some advice on where to start

Hi all,

Bit of context before I go further, I'm 30 years old, graduated with an hons degree in software development around 2-3 years ago now and have done literally zilch with it. I suffered with extreme mental health issues, still do to some extent. I taught myself a lot of the coursework, and luckily had a very understanding group of lecturers on my side. I managed to scrape a 2:2, but in hindsight, that's a fantastic result considering I learnt solo, and skipped easily 98% of classes.

Here's the thing, when I'm working on a project I get obsessed with it, or rather, when I was working on one, as I've not programmed much recently. An example being the final project in my degree. I built an Android app using Java, connected it to a MongoDB database, built a RESTFUL API, used Node and Express, and I built an admin website for the app. The scale of it was crazy, but tons of fun. It's something I want to continue working on, and just don't feel like I'm capable anymore, not to mention I feel completely out of touch with anything tech related.

Apologies for the long-winded post, but I felt some sort of background would help. I'm looking for advice on a few things, if possible, such as:

- Good places for exercises? Are these places recognised by your average employer or just for fun?

- What languages are worth learning currently? I'm a massive gamer, but I'm realistic enough to know it's a tough field. I'm happy messing around in Unity for a bit of a hobby but I'm leaning towards Web Dev and Android Dev for a career, as that's what I enjoyed at University. I aced my personal project and my Android class, just to back that up.

- I've considered emailing employers and asking for a chance to intern, or shadow developers in my own time if they can't afford to take me on. Has anyone done something similar? What was your experience?

- Lastly, I think, would anyone be able to skim the courses below and tell me if they're worth buying? I have a friend who swears by the instructors, and the materials seem to be suitable. Would these be considered at least intermediate level?

Forgot to add, thank you to everyone who takes the time to read this and help out!

You are not late, if you already have something in mind, search for a good udemy course, it is true that you can learn for free, but honestly, most of youtube programming courses and books I have read just can't keep me interested or are lacking information.

Now, if you don't have any language in mind, you can go different ways:
If you are not easily frustrated and want to go back to the basics, start with C++, you will mostly need to do everything yourself, but when most people start with something easier and then try and learn C++, they usually get easily discouraged.

If you want something a little bit easier, you can go for JavaScript or Python, I personally recommend Colt Steele courses on Udemy, especially the Web Development and Python Bootcamp, he has a really easy way of explaining things and usually explains A LOT of things that other online resources just take for granted.

I'm 20 years old too, so if you ever need help or a programming buddy, feel free to PM me

> programming seems like a daunting task

That's because it is. But that doesn't mean only super-smart people are able to program. Resilience is more important than intelligence. Keep going. Your brain is learning a new way to function, and this takes time.

Do not mess with the Godot for now.

I did the same and was very demotivated. Godot is awesome, but it's also buggy (some people say every game engine is like that...) and the educational material requires previous programming knowledge (despite claims to the contrary). GDScript itself is entirely object-oriented, and if you have no practice in OOP you'll have a bad time as a beginner.

> English is not my first language and as such, I feel like I'm at a disadvantage in guides that heavily depend on hard-to-translate jargon and terms.

Your English is fine. This is not my first language neither. It's quite possible that your issue is not English but the jargon that native speakers also need to Google.

> the "Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python" is actually...

This is a good book by a good author. Finish it!

This is my personal list of awesome resources:

• Python 3 Bootcamp by Colt Steel (paid)
• Python Crash Course (paid)
• Automate the Boring Stuff With Python (free)

And one final note: no book or course will carry you all the way through. They should always be complemented with Google searches and other resources. If something doesn't make sense, leave the anxiety behind and go back. Progressing with incorrect or incomplete understanding feels like saving time, but will make you waste more time down the road.

Good luck!

El meme siempre es "Aprendé Python! Descargate algún curso en Udemy" Pero cual de estos cinco es el mejor, ya que los cinco dicen ser lo mejor que le ha pasado a los cursos de programación desde la invención del pan blanco para alguien con un conocimiento en programación comparable al de un amish.

I am 3/4 through this very extensive course, and have been very satisfied with it:

https://www.udemy.com/course/the-modern-python3-bootcamp/

&#x200B;

There appears to be a 100% free coupon for it here:

https://www.real.discount/offer/the-modern-python-3-bootcamp/

But as I've already bought the course, I couldn't verify it :)

&#x200B;

A tip I found, when doing an extensive course like this, take breaks once you've learned a few things and work on some small projects yourself, just to play around and work with what you've learned.

>I have sat through these and loved them
>
>https://www.udemy.com/course/complete-python-bootcamp/
>
>https://www.udemy.com/course/the-modern-python3-bootcamp

to someone who hasn't taken these, they obviously look redundant. It was worth taking both?

Get a book or course or tutor first. It's helpful to have another person guide you through the way, specially in the beginning :)

As for resources, this sub index already has lots of them (as mentioned by /u/JohnnyJordaan).

I recommend personally:

• The Modern Python 3 Bootcamp on Udemy
• Python Crash Course, 2th Edition
• Codeacademy
• Automate the Boring Stuff with Python
• Programming for Everybody (Getting Started with Python)

You can look at each at those sources and decide which one fits best for you (any one will do actually).

And then, hands on learning!

My area of interest is not really Data Analysis, so I can't fully hearted recommend courses in that area. But for SQL and Python, Colt Steele on Udemy has a very thorough and well explained courses you might want to check.

Here's my recommended list for that (and especially for anyone thinking about learning programming/web development):

The Webdeveloper Bootcamp by Colt Steele | https://www.udemy.com/course/the-web-developer-bootcamp/ (fantastic one - if you are thinking about web development, this is the course to start with)

MySQL Bootcamp by Colt Steele | https://www.udemy.com/course/the-ultimate-mysql-bootcamp-go-from-sql-beginner-to-expert/ (in my list)

Python Bootcamp by Colt Steele | https://www.udemy.com/course/the-modern-python3-bootcamp/ (bought this one, great!)

Machine Learning & Data Science with Python | https://www.udemy.com/course/data-science-and-machine-learning-with-python-hands-on/ (in my list)

iOS Development with Swift by Angela Yu | https://www.udemy.com/course/ios11-app-development-bootcamp/ (bought this one)

Note: Currently there are no apparent active promos running on Udemy.com, but when I logged in, all prices dropped 87%. So try to sign up. Or just Google 'Udemy promo coupon' - that typically does that job ;)

Thank you very much for this explanation. That's exactly what I wanted to hear.
Appreciate your help really a lot.
From far I can see the best now is to put ML/DL on hold for later stages and focus on something smaller as you recommened.
But could you recommend something specific?
What do you think then about MIT edX program or Google Automation course?
Another options are to start doing some other Udemy courses like Fred Baptiste deep learning courses, The Modern Python 3 Bootcamp, Learn Python Programming Masterclass, The Complete Python Course | Learn Python by Doing
I dont really like the idea of reading books or doing something like codeacademy. Because from my point of view, there is not enough practice, for example, in the above courses there is organized assignment and things. Which help to improve better. Maybe I'm wrong

It sounds like he would benefit from a basic programming course that is based on Python.
If he likes to learn from books, try How to Think Like a Computer Scientist.

http://openbookproject.net/thinkcs/python/english3e/

If he likes online video style courses have him try a Udemy or CodeAcadamy course. On Udemy wait for a sale which will reduce the price 90% or google for a coupon. On Udemy, I like Colt Steele courses. Here's his Python Bootcamp, but there are many others.

https://www.udemy.com/course/the-modern-python3-bootcamp/

If he likes university style instruction with lectures and homework, have him look at Harvard's free Introduction to Computer Science. https://online-learning.harvard.edu/course/cs50-introduction-computer-science?delta=0

Harvard CS50 is a free, extremely extensive, intro course: https://online-learning.harvard.edu/course/cs50-introduction-computer-science

I have not taken it myself but I've heard a lot of good things. It's EXTREMELY long, and is a real class more or less but seeing as classes don't start till March 30th you have time.

Here's a free ebook in Python that I've seen a lot of people recommend: https://automatetheboringstuff.com/ (OSU's program is primarily Python).

Here's a good course on Udemy: https://www.udemy.com/course/the-modern-python3-bootcamp/ . Haven't taken it myself but Colt Steele is very good.

I would take a Udemy course, many are on sale now:

https://www.udemy.com/course/the-modern-python3-bootcamp/

https://www.udemy.com/course/automate/

Also, there are some good youtube channels. Here are my faves:
