DeepLearning.AI
AI Python for Beginners is a free beginner course from DeepLearning.AI, online. It's free for a limited time. It takes about 12 hours and ends with a paid certificate.
Ideal if you've never coded and want to learn Python with AI as your helper. Andrew Ng builds small projects that call large language models and automate everyday tasks, which keeps it relevant for non-developers. Budget around 11.5 hours. The catch: it's free only for a limited time during the platform beta, and the certificate needs Pro. If you'd rather understand AI without any coding, start with AI Capabilities and Limitations from Anthropic.
Andrew Ng teaches Python from scratch alongside AI tools: variables, loops, files and CSVs, packages and APIs, with small projects that call large language models and automate tasks.
