Hi all, Background: I want to find to find a resource for a quick-and-light interactive Python intro that I can recommend people taking before going to another computing workshop that requires Python from the get go (no time to teach python basics).
In light of DataCamp’s unresolved issue we’re made aware recently, I am wondering if people have alternatives, i.e. something that is really targeted for novice (non-programmer) to get started on Python quickly. I like DataCamp’s approach that integrates lesson, editor, and interactive python on a single web page: https://www.datacamp.com/courses/intro-to-python-for-data-science . This is what I spotted today: https://medium.com/swlh/5-free-python-courses-for-beginners-to-learn-online-e1ca90687caf One course does not work anymore. All of them are Udemy-based. But there’s got to be others too! I know SWC Python is great, but it requires live participation. What’s people’s experience in using SWC lessons as self-study materials? (In comparison, in the UNIX shell world, one can refer to this site for a quick learning: http://rik.smith-unna.com/command_line_bootcamp/ . That looks really great.) -- Wirawan Purwanto Computational Scientist Research Computing Services / Information Technology Services Old Dominion University Norfolk, VA 23529 ------------------------------------------ The Carpentries: discuss Permalink: https://carpentries.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/T83c4a579aa3e72c7-M12377c98a15779d5fec5e267 Delivery options: https://carpentries.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/subscription
