Best resource to learn Python?
I’m an incoming college first year thinking about recruiting for developer/swe roles at hedge funds and prop trading shops. I know a little java but I want to learn python because I heard it’s the most used. Do you guys know the best resources to learn this language?

Hoping to use a free resource for now.
I really like the Harvard CS50x course. It starts using C to teach data structures, algorithms, memory, etc. then switches to python for the remainder of the course. I chose the web programming path and have continued to use the skills learned on various personal projects.
go checkout https://www.freecodecamp.org/
OP here. What do you guys think about codeacademy?
I've played around with it... the materials are so-so.
there are 3 aspects to learn programming in python
1) learn how to code (in any language)...learn how to think like a programmer (which language does not matter) and how algorithms work to solve generic programming problems (how to handle arrays, if/then/else statements...loops...search / sort....object oriented programming...how to do math in code....efficiency algorithms...etc.)
2) learn the syntax of python, how to use the most popular libraries (this is the benefit of python...lots of libraries covering just about every function you might need) and the languages strengths and weaknesses vs other languages (weakly vs strongly typed...developer tools, etc..)
3) go get some repetition using the language by doing coding challenges.
SoloLearn had really intuitive models to walk you through the language and hownit worked. Structured kind of like DuoLingo if you’ve used it, and it functions on an app too so you can do it on your phone. IMO, better for learning and being able to jump in/out of modules.
1. take a free course at freecodecamp.org e.g. python for everybody course (about 14 hours long)
2. Practice on HackerRank.com
