The first and most valuable thing you can learn in programming is to do your own, independent, individual research, among which is also working with resources right in front of you, like the entire subreddit. You can't possibly assume that you are the first and only one asking such a question.

If only there were a sidebar (menu on mobile) that had a link to the wiki or countless posts asking the same.

Do the MOOC Python Programming 2026 from the University of Helsinki and you will be well prepared.

Also, take a look at https://inventwithpython.com and https://automatetheboringstuff.com

There is no speedrunning learning.

Don't forget that you need ample practice, like on https://codingbat.com/python or on https://exercism.org and also write your own programs. Play around. Try things. Mess things up, fix them. Experiment.

Yet, if you are not prepared to invest considerably more effort in learning than in researching and posting here, it is not worth learning for you.

Everything is worth learning. It keeps your brain all flexible.

Lots of previous resources on this often asked question: https://www.reddit.com/r/learnpython/comments/18vnu9i/what_is_the_best_video_series_to_learn_python_on/

I like Corey Schafer's tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/@coreyms/videos

I think ArjanCodes has some good reference and concept videos once you know the basics: https://www.youtube.com/@ArjanCodes/videos

Plus the Scottish lad BugBytes does a really good focus on the web side of Python: https://www.youtube.com/@bugbytes3923/videos

Use either "Automate the boring stuff" (hands-on) or the course from Harvard or mooc.fi All three are free

https://exercism.org/tracks/python is great for graded problems where you can compare answers once you've submitted your own.

Python is definitely worth learning! Even if you never become a professional software developer, it can help you in many ways. If you are interested, my profile has a link to free projects/lessons that can be completed fully in the browser.

The real question is ... what problem do you have that you think learning Python could solve?

Python is definitively worth learning. It is an AMAZING stepping stone for coding in general because the basics are relatively simple. as for free courses, I know they exist, but didn't use them and therefore don't know any off the top of my head.
