We collect different types of training with which to enter the world of programming and learn one of the most loved and demanded languages, Python
Free courses to learn Python for free
We start gathering resources with an extremely interesting course that seeks for the student to learn the fundamentals of programming in Python with detailed explanations. It is the work of Estefania Cassingena, a Computer Science and Mathematics student, as well as an instructor at Udemy, and can be found on the freeCodeCamp Español YouTube channel. The training has a dozen topics that go over the basics of this language from beginning to end.
In the Easy Code learning platform for developers we find another interesting free course, over 4 hours long, which introduces us to Python in an effective and simple way.
