Yesterday I asked my followers on Twitter for their advice on the best resources for people learning programming and Python:

You can see their responses on Twitter and below.

• olgabot: Code Academy
• modernscientist: Learn Python the Hard Way
• AlexVianaPro: Think Python
• oceankidbilly: A list of resources posted on reddit
• ptone: How to Think Like a Computer Scientist
• pani5ue: Google’s Python Class

Of those, I think Think Python and How to Think Like a Computer Scientist are especially targetted at people who are brand new to programming in any language.

These are some of the resources I learned from back when I picked up Python, though I should note that I already knew some programming at the time:

• Learning Python
• Programming Python
• Official Python Docs

Thanks to everyone who responded!
