Best Python / Quant-For-Beginners Course

Quick post...

I've been looking to improve my knowledge of quant strategies and Python coding for about 18mos now. Have been all over the place looking at different courses and even took a five session bootcamp through work.

To date, Quantopian's lecture series has been the best resource I've found. It starts from the very bottom and builds your quant understanding up in conjunction with clear walkthroughs of how to execute and interpret what you're learning in Python. I have honestly found nothing else as good - and, best of all, it's free.

Know there are lots of other people in the same situation who want to learn the same, so thought I'd share the good word. Happy learning!

P.S. If anyone else has other resources they swear by, I'm all ears.
