Python Tutorials for newbies

Project Discussion
1

Hello everyone,
I have new people in my team and I want them to learn Python cause it is the best for data science coding. Any good online tutorials (interactive like: CodeAcademy or web tutorials like: W3CSchool, Programiz) I also have a few resources from Python org, but I prefer to have more options to recommend. I have studied SE more them 10-14 years ago and Python many many years ago. All of them have knowledge of R, C, C++, Vala, Bash, HTML, CSS, NodeJS, JavaScript and NoSQL DB. We stick to FOSS Arch / Fedora Linux, hence any Widnows or MacOS only applications will not be of use.
We already use Git+AtomIO/VCCode, we don’t use cloud solutions like Project Jupyter if not a must.

Any recommendation for a python learning materials for SE graduate new to Python is welcome.

Thank you in advance have a great day and a wonderful workweek ahead.
Regards, Alex

MIT has a free online computer programming 101 which uses python as the language. It is available free online (or was last time I checked 2 years ago (ouch)). They still offer it I just checked it’s https://ocw.mit.edu/search/ocwsearch.htm?q=computer%20programming. It’s part of their open courseware initiative.

I did a specialization at Cornell, tried all my Ivy League courses links I had, MIT Stanford, UCLA, when you register their is certain limitation if you are not based in North America (I could be wrong). In any case thanks for the advice, I got better advice here then on the python forum in any case. I use Fedora W + Silverblue as my core OS at work for years and I am happy to be part of this great community.

Regards, Alex
