Ever heard of Python? No, not the snake, but the programming language. Nope, not a snake that can code either, but an actual programming language.

If you're thinking about picking up a new skill this year by learning how to code (because who isn't coding these days?), then you should consider getting a crash course in Python.

For starters, Python is 100% free, open-source, and readily available online. You just have to install it on your computer, open whatever notepad app you use, and get to coding. It's also a general-purpose programming language, which means it's highly versatile and can be used for a variety of projects — websites, video games, business tools, and more.

Python is designed to produce cleaner and more digestible lines of code. The code is also easy to read and write, as it somewhat resembles everyday English.

With more than 30 hours of training and 315 lessons, this bundle of online classes on all things Python can transform you into a programming wizard. Get your hands dirty learning the basics and advanced libraries of Python with real-time examples of how you can utilize the language.

You'll get introduced to Django, a framework within Python, which can help you develop websites easier and faster. You'll then get familiar with Scrapy, a powerful framework often used to extract the data from sites. The bundle also dives into other Python libraries, like SciPy, Numpy, and Beautiful Soup, which will all help you create interesting projects.

Collectively, these courses are worth $810, but you can get the entire bundle here for only $19. For a cost of practically nothing, you'll get lifetime access to every course, allowing you to learn at your own pace, at your own time.
