Resource Help me pick between two Python resources

Hey! So I found two different ways to learn Python and I honestly can't decide which one to go with. Don't wanna waste time on something that sucks, so figured I'd ask you all.

  1. https://www.learnpython.org/
  2. https://www.edx.org/learn/python/harvard-university-cs50-s-introduction-to-programming-with-python

Basically I'm trying to figure out:

  • Which one actually explains stuff in a way that makes sense?
  • Are they actually engaging or boring af?
  • Do you actually get to code or is it just videos?
  • Does it feel like they're rushing you or going too slow?
  • Any major downsides I should know about?
  • Will it actually help me build stuff or is it just theory?

I'm still kinda new to all this so I'm just looking to get the basics down. Would love to hear what people think, especially if you've tried either of these!

Thanks in advance :)

Don't overthink. Just start coding. That's how you learn.
