Python Learning Resources

Many people search online for Python learning resources, but the quality varies greatly. Some highly-rated content doesn't actually help those with genuine learning needs. Here, I've compiled a collection of excellent learning resources to help you avoid detours. I hope this is helpful.

Note: Just pick the resources that suit you from the list below — not every one is worth your time to study and research.

Python Learning Tutorials

Text-Based Tutorials

  1. Learn Python from Scratch - My own column on Zhihu, feel free to follow along
  2. Python-Based Data Analysis - My own column on Zhihu, open for discussion
  3. An AI Journey - My own column on Zhihu, open for discussion
  4. Python - 100 Days from Novice to Master - My own Python learning project shared on GitHub
  5. Python 3 Tutorial - Python course on Runoob, which also has many other learning resources
  6. Python Tutorial - Python course on Liao Xuefeng's personal website, with other learning resources

Video Tutorials

  1. Learn Python from Scratch - My Python beginner videos on Bilibili
  2. Quick Start with Python - A set of classroom videos uploaded to Zhihu Education
  3. Python Advanced Course - My Python advanced classroom videos on Bilibili
  4. Python Data Analysis Trio - My Python data analysis classroom videos on Bilibili
  5. AI Python for Beginners - Andrew Ng's Python introductory course
  6. AI for Everyone - Andrew Ng's AI general education course
  7. Deep Learning Specialization - Andrew Ng's deep learning specialization course
  8. 100 Days of Code: The Complete Python Pro Bootcamp - A very popular Python course on Udemy (paid)
  9. Python for Data Science and Machine Learning Bootcamp - A highly-rated data science course on Udemy (paid)
  10. PyTorch: Deep Learning and Artificial Intelligence - Well-reviewed Udemy course (paid)

Note: Andrew Ng's courses are also shared on YouTube and Bilibili. YouTube also has many free Python courses that I personally found very beneficial. Many of these courses are concise and straight to the point, unlike some domestic training institutions that share 700-episode courses or 800GB of learning materials, making people think that bookmarking equals learning. There are many learning platforms both domestically and internationally — some prefer Udemy, others prefer Coursera. I'm simply sharing courses I've watched and found good. You can search for courses on the platforms that suit you, and more importantly, start learning with a plan.
