Re:Ask HN: What is your best way to learn Python programming... by CyberFonic on Sunday August 05, 2018 @12:42AM (#17689707)
Python is an excellent first language to learn. Many universities around the world now use it as the language by which to introducing programming both for CS and non-CS students.

Depending on how you learn best, the following are 3 effective ways to learn:

From a book - one of the best books is Learning Python (http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920028154.do)

From videos - you could search YouTube for a trainer who communicates in a way that resonates for you.

By playing (and writing) games - PyGame is an excellent resource (https://www.pygame.org/docs/tut/PygameIntro.html)

Well written Python programs are like structured English, so they are not that hard to read. Personally I would suggest PyGame as the most effectively way to learn, but it really is a personal taste and preferences thing.
