Top 10 Websites to Learn Python Programming for FREE in 2022 | by javinpaul | Javarevisited | Medium

3. CodeCademy

If you like interactive learning, then there is no better place than CodeCademy. They first teach you theory in as few words as possible and then ask you to write code online using that concept. The best thing is you don’t need to do any setup like installing Python on your machine.

You can run Python code right from your browser. Another good thing is that you don’t need to write a complete program until you are ready. You need to make small changes and execute them. This is a great and fun way to learn Python programming.

I have learned JavaScript, Java, Python, and Linux using their interactive platform. Earlier they were completely free but not they have a freemium model where some of their lessons or a course will only be available for paid members.

Currently, their Learn Python 2 course is free, and Python 3 course is only available for paid members. If you can afford and appreciate CodeCademy, by all means, join Codecademy PRO, but if you can’t just start with their Python 2 course, it’s perfect for beginners having no coding experience.

This course is also part of the Microsoft Professional Program in Entry-Level Software Development, which is also free. You only need to pay when you need a certification. Something which you can add to your resume or LinkedIn profile as shown below:
