freeCodeCamp.org - Learn Python - Full Course for Beginners

This is a concise Python 3 programming tutorial based on Mike Dane's awesome Youtube video that you can watch here.

It is supposed to get you familiar with Python's variables, data types and their various functions, as well as loops, statements and classes.

There are also a couple of exercises that require user input or reading from external files.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.3 or any newer version of Python has to be installed on your system in order to run scripts from this tutorial. If you need any help installing Python, please refer to this link.
