Any #Python newbies out there? (Or experts that need to teach Python)
Would you have a specific online tutorial to recommend for someone who wants to learn Python without any prior programming experience? One that also explains how to install it ?

I was thinking of something like this: python.land/python-tutorial but I only had a quick look and would like some informed suggestions 🙏
Edit: OK, maybe not that one, seems too complicated (moving on to classes early) and not super clear.

(It is not for me, but to recommend to a student so they can learn the basics on their own then start working on ephys data analysis with me)

W3School is pretty good: w3schools.com/python/default.a…

Python For Everybody is what we actually used for the first Python class here at the university I work at: runestone.academy/ns/books/pub…

Both are free and both let you practice programming on the web.

I would also recommend using Thonny, as it's a good intro IDE and comes with Python in the installer: thonny.org/

El Duvelle reshared this.

Happy to help! I'm just a dabbler in Python, but I've had a lot of fun with it. These are the tools I used, so it seems a shame to keep them just to myself.

I'm a fan of FreeCodeCamp, it has a Python certificate course and does go through the installing Python, etc.

Not sure if it covers off the very basics of programming if you've never done it before, but it is meant to be for beginners.
