Which one of these would you recommend?

I've been wanting to start programming in python for a while now, yet I keep on getting drowned in the endless pit of how many resources there are to go about that. I have programmed before, yet mainly for hardware, never software, and as such I would prefer the resource assume that I am completely new.

These are some of the resources I've been contemplating:

[Python Like You Mean It](https://www.pythonlikeyoumeanit.com/index.html), seems pretty good, I am not personally looking to get into data science, yet the fact that it offers exercises and projects is pretty nice.

[Python Course](https://www.python-course.eu/index.php), which I really liked as well, yet it seems so exhaustive I'm afraid it will bore me, yet I also don't know if all of it is necessary or not, so would love your opinions on it.

[Hands-On Python3 Tutorial](http://anh.cs.luc.edu/handsonPythonTutorial/), it seems short enough for me to pick it up quickly, and offers some interesting applications, so I'd love to know what you guys think.

There are also two books I have on my mind, [Practical Introduction to Python Programming](https://www.brianheinold.net/python/A_Pr...einold.pdf) by Brian Heinold, because, it's free, has a lot of exercises, and seems to be a pretty nice mix between theory and application. And there is also the book [Learn to Code by Solving Problems](https://nostarch.com/learn-code-solving-problems) by Daniel Zingaro, which I find interesting due to the fact that it teaches programming by actually solving problems head-first, which makes learning fun.

I know that there are many resources out there, and I have definitely seen them, it's just that these are the ones that I liked most, and would like to know what python developers think about them and which they think would make me the best prepared to start tackling projects on my own.

Thanks in advance for any advice, it's really appreciated.

I am familiar with https://www.python-course.eu/index.php and like the approach, not familiar with the other two, so no comment on those.

Well, the question is too much old but I would like to answer this question as it still make sense and keeps value. Well, everyone have different aspect on this but in my opinion Python Like You Mean It is very promising. Apart from this I have also seen this post where author listed some bootcamps but in my knowledge each BootCamp have same basics you just need to keep your focus on basics and learn them.
Thanks
