Looking for Online Python Courses

[Aomatsu]

Any good online structured Python courses (apart from Youtube)?

My upcoming 2 years will be in NS, and there is ample time for me to study a programming language during free time before my Uni starts. My aim is to able automate tasks and data analysis if possible so that it will aid in my finance and accounting jobs.

Thanks!

P.S. I have no prior programming knowledge.

When you download Python there should already be a help file with a tutorial inside. Try it out first

Oh is it? You mean the Python Installer 2.X or Sublime Text?

Assuming you are on Windows, open Start and find Python, you should see an entry like Python 3.x Manual

This file is part of the installation and for me it is located in
C:\Users\home\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\Doc\python351.chm

Inside there is a section called "The Python Tutorial", which you can also find online

Get a couple of books on your topic and if time allows do some reading

I did the Rice University course on coursera and it was pretty good, albeit Python 2.x.
