Python Programming Courses

[steven1664]

Would anyone happen to know of any Python Courses that are available online?  I am looking to see if there might be any available and out there some where so far I haven't had a lot of luck in my search.  I have been looking over books, but would really like to take a class online to help me out.  Thanks.

Google has one published on youtube, I was going over it a couple months back, looked decent:

There's good resources all over the web for you to pick up on it free of charge, just have a look around.

xXxKrisxXx thanks for the reply.  I downloaded the Google Python videos (Keepvid.com) and will start checking them out tomorrow. 

I also found this as well on youtube for a python programming tutorial:

Has anyone had any good experience with python programming classes at any colleges?  If I go through a college I have a much easier time getting my work to pay for the classes.

You can also try this -

MIT 6.00 Introduction to Computer Science and Programming, Fall 2008

I found it really comprehensive and good. Google Python videos are also really nice.

Happy Learning

steven1664,

If you haven't already, check out the Python course at the O'Reilly online site.  I plan on signing up for this class after I finish my eCPPT class at elearnsecurity.  Here's the link below.  It looks pretty good for $398.

@ Methodikal

This course sounds pretty good.  I think I will sign up at the beginning of next year...

I think the content covered in this course

expressions, variables, conditionals, loops, lists, sets, dicts, functions, objects and exceptions

can easily be taught by self-study and isn't really worth to spend 400$, imho.

I second awesec. There are enough free resources available for learning python that spending spending 400$ sounds like a waste of money. Learning syntax of any language isn't difficult, you've to practice regularly to retain it and become efficient at it.

The course might be good. Might be useful if you're going after an ORA Cert, but at the same time, you can read Books on it free.
