Where can we get best web-course beginning from basic Python programming and using Kernels till analyzing data with Machine learning algorithms.

I think most of the Biologist don't need much to know on how to write programs or design Kernels but should be able to write essential codes to analyze data through already available programs.

I found some online courses, one is: pythonforbiologists.com that appears instantly when searched with the concerned keywords, but was not able to get detailed reviews.

Another is Python for Genomic Data Science by Coursera, the course content looks good, but the reviews say that it lacks later materials (Weeks 3 and 4) in uses/applications that makes virtually impossible to finish the course.

Suggestions appreciated for recommending efficient web-course on Python for Biologist...
Here are some great courses around Bioinformatics -

1. Bioinformatics Micromasters Certification by University of Maryland (edX)
2. Genomic Data Science by John Hopkins University (Coursera)
3. Finding Hidden Messages in DNA (Bioinformatics I) (Coursera)
4. Bioinformatics Certification Course by UC San Diego (Coursera)
5. Bioinformatics for Beginners by UC San Diego (Coursera)
6. Bioinformatic Methods I by University of Toronto (Coursera)
7. Bioinformatics: Introduction and Methods by Peking University (Coursera)
8. Bioinformatics Certificate (Harvard Extension School)
9. Computational Biology (MIT Open Courseware)
Actually, the one that I posted earlier is quite good, and free!
