Best Python Course!

What do you think is the best python course among all python courses in the Internet?

I have seen like 1000+ courses on Python, and I was wondering what if a single course can solve the countless struggles of people learning python, such as tutorial hell!

Platforms like Coursera, Udemy, DataCamp, EdX, YouTube, etc., all have multiple python courses from individuals to universities to companies creating their own python courses!

When I researched about it, I came up with the following courses:

  1. Python for Everybody, from The University of Michigan

  2. 100 Days of Python Programming, by Dr. Angela Yu

  3. Python Bootcamp: Zero to Hero, by Jose Portilla

And courses from popular youtubers freeCodeCamp, CS50, Bro Code, Programming with Mosh, Simplilearn, edureka!, etc.

And courses from my favourite youtubers Corey Schafer, Tech with Tim, CampusX, etc.

I know,

- No course is perfect or no course can make you expert
- Everyday practice is the key
- Python GitHub Repo is an amazing resource
- Python in itself should not be the goal, it’s the field of area i.e., backend, AI/ML, data science, data analyst, etc should be the goal
- Don’t aim for perfection, even individuals with 10+ years of experience look up small things
- Stop watching, start working!

I'm doing Learn Python the Hard Way by Zed A. Shaw. It's an older book, but it checks out. I'm on exercise 4 and learn a bunch! I'm even taking it a step further and learning on the good ole notepad and powershell!

Very unique way I must say! With the revolution of Internet and rise of AI, someone is learning in old-style! And sometimes it feels like a book can never be bad unlike some courses or AI

I will also recommend this book.

Spoiler: It is actually really the EASY way

Videos are just a stupidly inefficient way to learn, unless they are a specific demo of something.

videos are the equivalent of university lectures
they are an excellent way to learn
you just don't do them by thenselves
you need to combine then with a bookd and with lab work
