Use of the Python programming language has been growing at a prodigious rate for several years.

More about Innovation

Much of that growth has been fueled by the use of Python in burgeoning field of data science, which in 2018 became the most common use for Python, alongside web development and DevOps.

Demand for Python across these various fields remains strong, with a 2018 survey by HackerRank placing it as the language third-most sought after by employers and it also claimed third place in the list of most-loved programming languages in last year’s Stack Overflow Developer Survey.

Luckily there’s a plethora of good quality free resources out there for learning Python, as you can see from this extensive TechRepublic round-up.

However, if you’re looking for educational materials with a heavier focus on code examples, the online code repository GitHub is a good place to start.

Here are the five-highest ranked repositories on GitHub related to learning how to code in Python.
