Newbie Asking For starting code with phyton

Hi guys.I’m studying Physics and want to learn something about data analysis Currently, I do not have any coding experience or training. I don’t really know where to start. First of all, I want to learn python for data analysis. Where should I start? Which courses would you recommend? Thank you in advance.

We here at FreeCodeCamp do offer some Python curriculum. That could be a pretty good place to start. Though it will require you to understand a few terms like function and what a variable is.

Disagree, the python curriculum is introductory and doesn’t require prior knowledge.

In fact the first lesson is teaching what a variable is. https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/scientific-computing-with-python/learn-string-manipulation-by-building-a-cipher/step-1

Step 1
Variables are an essential part of Python and any programming language. A variable is a name that references or points to an object.

Functions are introduced on step 49.

@Ataberk Once you have a good grasp of Python there is a data analysis course:

W3schools introduces python commands and provides a place for you to practice what is introduced.

I stand corrected. It does offer a lot of what a new coder needs to know.

It is odd that it’s #8 in the curriculum and then starts off with “What is a variable” :sweat_smile:

I started the curriculum in the middle with Python but it was the Legacy Python for Everyone course at that time, which is also beginner level programming.

the starting idea was that it should have been an introduction to python for someone that already knows a programming language, but people would go to that directly instead of starting at the top
