I used to run a free coding club for kids where we learnt Scratch, HTML, CSS, and Python. Plus I am a self taught person and I learnt Python, among other things, completely on my own.
So it’s no wonder that I have a huge collection of resources to learn Python.
Here are some of the resources I have used personally and in my coding club.
Twilio Quest - Mysteries of the Pythonic Temple
A game which teaches setting up Python on your computer abd basics of the language.
Projects from Raspberry Pi
Some kid friendly projects to practice the basics. It also includes projects where you can learn Python by using it to program with micro controllers and Raspberry Pi.
Invent your own computer games with Python
Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python teaches you how to program in the Python language. Each chapter gives you the complete source code for a new game, and then teaches the programming concepts from the examples.
Encrypt messages and hack cyphers with Python
Cracking Codes with Python teaches complete beginners how to program in the Python programming language. The book features the source code to several ciphers and hacking programs for these ciphers.
Python for Everybody
This one is an open course and may be suitable for older kids. But Dr. Chuck is am amazing teacher and this course builds the foundation.
Python on CodeAcademy
I personally am not a huge fan of codeacademy, but many people like it.
[Learn Python the Hard Way] (https://learnpythonthehardway.org/python3/)
Another book which builds good foundation, although its a bit boring 😴
Object-oriented Programming in Python: Create Your Own Adventure Game
Learn object-oriented programming principles by creating your own text-based adventure game in Python. I really enjoyed learning/teaching with this course. As it explains the object oriented programming principles in a easy to understand and engaging manner.
Codewars
Finally you can practice your skills with codewars. Or read on for my preferred way to practice 👇
A List of Python Projects You Can Build
My preferred way of practicing what I have learnt, and taking my understanding further is to make stuff. This site gives some good projects ideas which are suitable for beginners.
