life is short - you need Python!

As Python is getting more and more popular and becoming the de facto standard for starting to learn programming, we can see increasing amount of online content to learn Python. Last week got an email form Code School team to check out their couple of new Python courses. I spent around 30 minutes watching the videos, checkout out the exercises. The exercises are good, and can be done online. They also prepared the videos with care. But one thing that bothers me, the lecture is kind of robotic. I didn't feel anything special, in fact didn't feel the connection to the teacher that I used to feel in other courses in Coursera and Udacity. Anyway, Python beginners can check those courses: 1. Try Python 2. Flying through Python

Finally, I have completed my video tutorial series on Python. The lectures are given in my native language - Bangla (Bengali). Click here to check the videos. In the course I assume that the student has prior programming experience in C / Java. So this is not suitable for programming beginners, rather it's suitable for Python beginners. There are six units in the series and each unit has several videos (8 to 12). The topics covered are : Introduction to Python, Variables, Conditional Logic, Loop, Data Structures (List, Dict, Set, Tuple), Input/Output, File, Exception Handling, Modules and Packages, Object Oriented Programming, Iterators, Generators etc. I couldn't make it a complete course because I didn't have time to prepare assignments, quizzes, questions. Hope, I can offer a full course online via +Dimik Computing School in future on Python.

Recently I found an interesting video and later found this ! It's a collection of well thought-out tutorials and videos with exercises (right now not very useful for me though :p). It's done under Google Edu project. I have checked couple of videos and looked at the exercises. I think it's a very good resource for someone who wants to learn Python. So, if you are a python beginner you will find Google's Python Class useful, but if you already know these basic Python stuffs, what you can do is to share so that another Python newbie can get help. :)
