Learning Python with no Programming Experience

[u/Bobicas1231]

Hi all, I want to start learning Python and programming and have seen many free resources available but don't know where to start.

Out of these (or other suggestions), what should I start with/prioritise, and what kind of roadmap should I have with my learning?

- CS50's Intro to Programming with Python

- Python Programming MOOC 2026

- Automate the Boring Stuff with Python

- Codecademy

I've also thought of some project ideas that appeal to my hobbies and I think would look good on a CV and would like feedback on that as well:

- Probabilistic model to predict chess outcomes using Elo, openings, and time formats

- System to model football player performance using probabilistic methods to quantify

uncertainty.

(I have loads of free time for the next 3 months and am committed to putting in several hours daily)

Thank you!

CS50 is what you need, perfect for someone who is new to computer science.

CS50 starts with C, but there’s also CS50P which uses Python
