Invent With Python

Learn to program Python for free

My advice would be to pick something less academical and more practical. The books and courses of Al Sweigart are a good starting point. Eg "Automate the boring stuff with Python". You can read all of his books for free on his webpage: https://inventwithpython.com/.

replit

Code, create, andlearn together. Use our free, collaborative, in-browser IDE to code in 50+ languages — without spending a second on setup.

I would look into a platform like https://replit.com (@replit on Twitter). It’a a relatively new platform, but they have been doing some amazing things lately (seriously, check out their content, tons of it is made by some super talented young people). They provide in-browser collaborative code editors, test runners, even app hosting and deployment. Being able to write some novel app in your browser and deploy it in the same environment can be incredibly motivating and empowering.
