I'm eager to learn Python over the summer since I have a course starting next semester that covers Python programming. I don't have any coding experience, so I'm looking for advice on the best ways to get started. Should I enroll in a summer course, watch instructional videos, or try something else? Any effective recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

I’ve taken a few courses on Udemy and found them to be quite affordable and effective. Currently, I'm doing a course by Jose Portilla on Python and AI—it's great, although it might be a bit challenging if you're just starting out.
Check out this free course - it's pretty solid. Just look up "programming-25.mooc.fi" for a well-structured learning path! Also, make sure to check any FAQ sections related to Python learning; they can be super helpful!
If you're looking for a broader introduction, I'd recommend Harvard's CS50 course. It's perfect for beginners and will give you a solid foundation before diving into Python. After that, you can use Exercism—it's a free online platform that specifically focuses on learning Python too!
Yeah, CS50 actually has a dedicated Python course too, which might be handy!
You can find tons of video tutorials online. Python is pretty user-friendly, so any decent video series should get you up to speed quickly!
I really liked the "Python Crash Course" book. It's an easy read with great exercises and even includes projects later on. I found that books can sometimes help with coding more than online courses do, so give it a shot!
Thanks a lot!
