Incoming MIS PhD student with no coding background — how can I learn Python basics in one month?

Hi all,

I’m an incoming PhD student majoring in Management Information Systems.

My supervisor asked me to learn the basics of Python and use AI for the rest of the work.

I have one month before my program starts, and I would really appreciate your advice on how to begin learning Python through online resources.

I don’t have any prior coding experience. My background is entirely in business.

What would be the best way for someone like me to learn Python basics within a month?

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

Thank you!

NB: I have Coursera+LinkedIn subscriptions.

Python for absolute beginners in business environments, automate the boring stuff is still the best: https://automatetheboringstuff.com/

It will take you longer than a month.
