Hello, I’ve been wanting to learn some basic python coding, but I don’t know where to start. Does anyone have any advice or recommendations? Thank you!

Google has python certification. You can learn how to code Python alongside getting yourself a certificate to put on your Resume! Completely free to learn as well:

Khanacedmy or even codeacedmy are good platforms to use.

Just be aware it’s a 7 day trial then they charge you $50/mo so not really free.

Well crap… Last time I went there it was free.

This is a solid alternative: Learning Python from Harvard. EdX is completely free (double checked), but you will need to pay for an optional certificate.

I don’t remember where I found the course I took, but I learned most of my current knowledge of Python through a course on how to code a chatbot in Python.

Yeah those CS50 courses are amazing.
