Pro tip: Don't buy that $60 'Python for Absolute Beginners' video course.

The guy just reads the official documentation out loud, which is free. Anyone know a decent free resource that actually explains things?

I fell for that exact scam a few years ago (the shame is real). Corey Schafer's YouTube channel saved me, his Python tutorials are incredibly clear and free. The official docs are great as a reference, but they can feel like reading a textbook sometimes. For total beginners, I'd start with something like Automate the Boring Stuff, which has a free online version. It walks you through practical projects, which makes the concepts stick way better than just hearing syntax rules read aloud.

Didn't that guy get called out for plagiarizing free tutorials?

Honestly, @andrew_baker9, Corey's videos got me through that too.
