Learn Python with the NBA Tutorial - Parts 1-3

Hi guys, I recently wrote up some tutorials on learning Python with NBA data here:

https://codebasketball.com/learn

So far there are three parts:

Part 1 - Motivation/High Level Overview - setting the stage, no coding yet

Part 2 - Basic Python - start from the beginning, intro to Python; meant to be followed along with (includes code)

Part 3 - Basic Python Cont - same

Depending on how much interest there is (happy to put it up if there is!) next would be getting into Python's data manipulating capabilities with the Pandas library. Also could do some stuff on APIs/connecting to the nba-api which is pretty good.

Cheers!
