Python Forum

Hello all,
sorry if this has been asked before, I tried to search google and this forum for similar inquiry but every tutorial I came across always presumes a prior knowledge of the language which I have none.
I'm an R user and I'm interested in learning python but I've no experience in programming apart from R. When I first started to learn R I found a lot of useful materials like all the books by Hadely Wickham which makes no assumptions about the knowledge of its reader. Can anyone point me to similar learning sources for python for data science? that will be much appreciated.

After finishing, you can do some more complicated tutorials on specific subjects.

Thanks a lot for your answer. I will definitely check it out. If it's not a problem can you please recommend some books too?

Well, one I like, that may be a bit dated is Fluent Python by Luciano Ramalho (2015) you can buy a used copy for a buck or two on Amazon. Old but still has some excellent write-ups and examples of code that never goes stale.

Most everything that I read now, I do online as it becomes obsolete so quickly.
