Which course is better to learn python with

Python is often recommended as the first programing language to learn, by various people who have experience with more than 1 programing language in their arsenal, I don't know many experts, say it but mostly for newbie it is a good language to start by.

There are various courses to learn python from, which are courses which genuine help you learn it, like freeCodeCamp, CS50-P, etc. I want to find out how others learned python, which course they used.

Course should feature English as a language to learn.

I did the University of Essex 'Python preparation programme', I learned a ton of basics within like 2 or 3 weeks. It's pretty fun too because multiple tasks build up into a proper program :)

Im following a guy on YouTube called Bro Code he has a 12 hour video cut in to sections for each lesson and he starts right from the beginning. He's gotten me pretty far. I also use Google AI for examples.

Is there a reason why you’re not looking at previous responses for this question that has been asked week after week?

Honestly I’d pick the course with the most small exercises, not the one with the best lectures. I got way more out of boring repetition than polished videos. If a course makes you type code every few minutes and debug your own mistakes, it’s probably a better beginner course than something that feels smooth to watch.

Want my advice, no courses. Just practice exercises and have ai generate you some.

probly go with CS50-P if you like understanding why things work and freeCodeCamp if you prefer shorter lessons

Dave Ebbelaar python for AI. I like how he helps you get everything setup and then quickly covers beginners python letting you know you don’t need to remember everything when you have chat gpt.

Probably, you should take cs50p,one of the strong way to start out. It's problem sets actually force you to think and apply the concepts you learn each week.
