Why would you watch a video when there's something you can read at your own pace?

If you want a course then udacity.com has a great "computer science 101" to learn Python. Or else this guy on youtube is fantastic:

Especially his advanced Python stuff is great. Don't know how his basic stuff is... never seen it, but likely good as well.

I'm an auditory learner

learnpythonthehardway.org/book/

Just do all the exercises below

you are retard

You need to buy it

Another worthless shitskin on Sup Forums.

Would you recommend python 2 or python 3 here?

Fuck you

>trying to learn programming through """"""auditory learning"""""""
lad, its autistic to go around in real life and say things like "urllib.request.urlopen('google.com').read().decode()" out-loud. read the documentation

nobody recommends python2 unless they want you to fail. it's dead and bad.

Haha called out.

No. Fuck you!

try reading
if you REALLY want to watch a tutorial, just steer clear of thenewboston

Not OP but I've come across this program as well while looking around and wouldn't mind throwing down a little cash for a well structured program that offers a lot.

Have you had any experience with learnpythonthehardway? You would definitely recommend 3 over 2?

This is shit. Why would you recommend it?

Why do you say that?

Search for sentdex on youtube.

This must be the most repeated shill phrase in history.

Not homeboy, but you're a fucking retard.

Back to Sup Forums i'm not shilling for a fucking tiny learn python book.

I'm asking why you think it's shit it looks like a decent resource to me, probably not any better than anything thats

if you operate like a passive aggressive pussy, this is what you get.

>why do you say that?
you're a faggot.

Ok then good to know your opinion can be discarded

Google's python is good if you know C or some language already

op: you're going to be doing a lot of reading if you intend to pursue coding seriously, or even as a hobby, so why not start now?

really, the documentation isn't that tough. if you want something very down-to-earth you might wanna grab a book/pdf like "automate the boring stuff with python" (i helped to write it)

it's free!

>Using a language made for toddlers and used by toddlers
Grow up you fucking manchild

>scientists == toddlers
Okay
This is also nice

Spoiler alert: the first step you need to take on the road to gitting gud is learning to read the docs.

Best way to learn Python and it's not retarded like learnpythonthehard(retarded)way.
It's free and the pdf is beautiful.

Then learn something musical. Programming is an active process. The medium is in essence all about logic problems solved using applied verbal/mathematical reasoning. So if you won't read and practice using the documentation you are refusing to use the language itself.

Pirate the udemy complete python masterclass.

Always relevant.

Only reason to learn Python 2 is if you use some legacy system (many old github projects is in python 2) or have some specialised tool that uses only python 2.

It's pretty much like learning COBOL, nobody would start a NEW project with it unless they are insane.

i've been enjoying automate the boring stuff. definitely recommend it to someone that wants to learn a language but has trouble moving past the point of just learning the basic syntax and stuff to actually applying that knowledge. also, if you decide to read it, make sure you do all the practice exercises. you probably won't learn much if you don't, and will most likely just end up dropping it eventually because of that.

I dropped it after the regular expressions stuff. It was so boring i couldnt

Warning: red pill ahead.

This so much. I've had people ask me the same retarded question a bunch of times. Just go through the codeacademy course and then advance to more complex things

uh...
try this?

Truth right here

Find a textbook used at a university and do all of the problems. You learn programs by doing, not by hearing. The textbook will contain all the basics you need to get started with the exercises and then you just reference back to the book and or internet when you run into problems. Do this consistently for a few weeks/months and you'll be somewhat competent at programming.

hplgit.github.io/primer.html/doc/pub/half/book.pdf Here's the book i used when i first learned python. It's aimed at scientists and mathematicians, but it should be fine for anyone.

All of these negative comments just because you have a different learning style.

I think there is a guy on YouTube Trevor Payne, or this other guy Bucky Roberts that have helped me with learning different languages. I forget which one does which language, but one of them is python.

Socratica is cute! CUTE!

I've bought learn python the hard way, working through it right now.

here's the gist of the method:
type in code exactly as its written in the book
run it, compare it to check you get the same output
watch the video for the exercise
do some study drills (extending the script, looking things up, memorizing things...)
move onto next exercise

in the videos he explains some things but the main point of them is getting you to learn how to break the code, so when you get errors you know how to fix them , as well as debugging and reading code. each exercise introduces a new idea or expands on an already established topic . some of the exercises are dumb, but the point of them is to learn how various things in python work (strings, variables, inputs...) more so than actual programming.
You get quite a lot from doing the study drills and thinking about how you can combine+apply the ideas.

lpthw isn't without its flaws (read the negative reviews of it on amazon) but i quite like it.

get lpthw 3 if you do decide to buy it
