Learn Python for free from Microsoft!

Welcome back! After scrolling through Reddit for endless hours I came across a post talking about Microsofts free courses they offer! This post does a great job covering all of the Python related courses Microsoft offers, here is a link this post:

I love seeing posts like these becuase it essentially showcases the endless possiblities of picking up a new language, including Python! After looking through a couple of their course offerings I was surprised to see the amount of free content that was available in these courses! The break down of these courses are like this, you get a brief introduction at the top explaining what you’re going to be learning (as well as a rating of the course):

You also get a break down of the amount of modules in this specific course as well!

From there you can easily navigate through the courses with their fairly easy layout, this is a pretty big advantage since alot of the courses online have very strange layouts of their courses. Another very interesting thing I saw was that some of the courses require prerequisities, this honestly gives it more of an actual course feeling rather than an online pamphlet:

Also, the fact this specific course is broken down in several different modules per course doesn’t make me feel rushed, unlike some other courses i’ve taken. Ultimetely, if you’re trying to learn Python this is a no brainer to atleast check out! Below is a link to the official page of the course:

Like I mentioned, if you only want to see the Python specific courses check out the link above to the Reddit post, they broke down all of the Python courses Microsoft offers!
