This is a list of free online books and other resources for anybody interested in learning the Python programming language. There are other lists out there, this one contains only items, that I have personally tried and found useful.
- Codecademy: A website with interactive tutorials.
- PythonLearn: A website and a book with videos and autograded exercises. It is the material used for the Coursera-course Programming for Everybody by Charles Severance.
- Udacity: Intro to Computer Science & Programming CS 101: A complete introduction to Computer Science with Python.
- Think Python: How to Think Like a Computer Scientist: A book that is also an introduction to Computer Science as well as an introduction to Python. If you have succeded in learning Python (at least to a reasonable degree), the author might still be of interest to you, there are some more advanced books on his website.
- Learn Python The Hard Way: A very good book about Python and Programming in general. Not really hard.
- Last but not least: The Python Tutorial - The official tutorial by Python.org.
Have fun!
