Congrats if you are reading this you already are on a wonderful and rewarding journey. Have high expectations from the Python language. If you can dream it, you can build it.

I was a Python language complete newbie one year ago. Now I would consider myself an intermediate.

You can start from online resources for basic Python. I think there are many great resources in form of book, online tutorials, blogs, courses, certifications that go through the basics in structured way. You will start from installing Python on your machine (which is very easy) to building a basic program that prints Hello world.

Python Beginner will find this website incredibly helpful

The best way to learn is from the source

Go to the Python website for this - https://www.python.org/about/gettingstarted/ Then you can use your web crawling skills to get more resources!

Once you reach the dictionaries portion in the bsaics you can do the below two tutorials to test out the power of Python
