While not free, I have found everything I have taken from ACloud.Guru to be top shelf (though I have taken far from all of their classes). You may want to look at:
https://acloud.guru/learn/python-for-beginners Everything they do is hands on, lab style.

While I haven't learned Python, I would think the Learning Python and Python Cookbook would be good books. On Sun, Dec 15, 2019 at 6:31 PM Phil Waclawski

There are so many books to learn from, check out packt publishing, they have a free series that you can access online, if you want to download it as a file (pdf mobi etc) or a paper book, that will cost you a bit, but not bad.

DBA/Developer and recent versions of SQL Server have the ability
to run Python within the database engine as another avenue for
data analysis. I'm also interested in moving toward more data
analysis/BI roles and Python fits the bill quite well. I have 20
years of DBA experience, so I don't necessarily need beginner
level programming books. But having said that, I have no
experience with Python at all. I've found countless video tutorials on Python (Pluralsight, EdX,
Coursera, etc.), but I still prefer book learning, especially
books that teach a concept and then give you "homework"
assignments to practice. Any recommendation on Python books for programming (not website
stuff, though) would be very much appreciated. Also, recommendations for an IDE on Windows would be appreciated.
I already use VS Code for Powershell development, so maybe that
will be ok for Python? Thanks, Peter --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list -
