Ask HN: What are the best tutorial sites for Python?

6 points

4 years ago

With all the interest in AI, there has been a recent increase in the number folks (especially students) cold-reaching out on LinkedIn and Twitter for advice on good resources to learn Python and AI. This is just because I work in the space (I think), so I'm guessing lots of other people will be seeing this too.

I try to be helpful but I also want to give the best possible current recommendations.

For the AI part, I've been recommending Jeremy Howard's awesome fast.ai course, and the new "Neural Networks: Zero to Hero" lecture series from Andrej Karpathy which I've seen lots of people recommend [1].

For learning Python (beginner-to-intermediate), my go-to recommendation used to be DataCamp, but I'm sure there are better and more-recent resources.

It doesn't look like there has been much discussion recently on HN, so I'm wondering what everyone would recommend as the best tutorials to help those people getting started or up-skilling now.

Sites that show up a lot in discussion include: realpython.com, treyhunner.com, makeuseof.com, digitalocean.com, tutorialspoint.com, towardsdatascience.com, programiz.com, simplilearn.com, learnpythonthehardway.org

What is everyone recommending?
