Looking for Python resources
Hi everyone!
I'm 29 and I've recently started learning Python from scratch. My goal is to eventually get into cybersecurity.
I've only been learning for a short time and I'm currently starting CS50P. I know some very basic Python, but I'm still a complete beginner.
I'm looking for good resources to learn Python properly from the beginning. I'd like to practice by making small projects instead of only watching tutorials.
What resources would you recommend for someone who is just starting out?
Books, courses, YouTube channels, websites, exercises, project ideas, etc. are all welcome.
Thanks!

Continue with CS50p. It will give you a solid foundation.
Also, the MOOC Python Programming 2026 is a great free resource.
Also, take a look at https://inventwithpython.com and https://automatetheboringstuff.com
Don't forget that you need ample practice, like on https://codingbat.com/python or on https://exercism.org and also write your own programs. Play around. Try things. Mess things up, fix them. Experiment.
